If I remember correctly, these are post-1953 to about 1958 or 1959. Maybe went out of production even earlier than 1958 as there are so few of the relatively.

That is very eye-catching!
I assume the blade is either chrome or nickel plated? I have seen some many old knives with the plating worn off. This one is a gorgeous example though!

Beautiful knife! I had to zoom in to see if that was blood on the top, I guess you had a red shirt on and it reflected lol.
