Can't ID maker

[beresman]

Nice little pearl knife; but I can't ID the maker. Anybody have ay ideas? The other blade is marked "Ohligs/Solingen"

Looks like the last part is...---FILER & Co. ot ---FLEER & Co. Can't find anything close my books. What does it look like to you? Try smudging it with a pencil lead. That can help sometimes. Pretty knife. J.O'.

Yeah, that's what I thought, too. Looks like it might be an "S" or "C" in front of the "FILER", but that didn't give me any further help.

I also photographed the other tang, which shows the faintest evidence of lettering above "OHLIGS"--perhaps an "E" or "F", followed by a small space and maybe a "B" or "R"...

Could it be F Koeller & Co.

That's a good call. Their knives were stamped "Ohligs Soilingen". The towns are just across the river from each other. Good eye. J.O'.
