An oldie need help identifying

[Pad2]

I’m guessing Civil War or so …. Can anyone help with the mark?

Maybe an antique ink eraser?

It's a budding/grafting knife, my guess is possibly German made, early to mid 1900's. Nothing to do with the Civil War.

Thank you …. I thought it was a fleam blade … never thought about the grafting/budding. I appreciate the quick feedback.

My pleasure Pad2. Here's a cut from an old Schrade catalog showing their version which was introduced in 1932. I believe they took the design off of a similar knife made by Kunde & Sohne, a German maker known for their horticultural knives. Your mark is a mystery to me. I feel like I've seen it before but just can't place where.

Curious….

Q the pattern number under the drawing is for that particular color (W for white, B for black), the knife handle choices under the descriptions are additional choices for that pattern. Sometimes there are a half dozen choices depending on the pattern.
