"XX" era gold folding knife

[jdavis]

I'm looking for help identifying this strange Case XX knife for my friend. The only identification stamps read "Bradford Germany" and the opposite side reads "W.R. Case & Sons". It has a beautiful inlay and the handle seems to made of gold. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This is a Toledo scales knife made for Case when Jim Parker owned Case.

did this knife come out of the olbertz factory?

it sure looks alot like the fightn rooster that has same pattern and very similar scales.

im pretty sure mr.parker had everything that was german made produced in the olbertz factory but of course im not positive.

nice little knife.

Thanks everybody can you tell me some details like what exactly its made of?

I looked Toledo Scale knives and the pattern seems to be the same, the pic I seen of one had two of rivets out of place mine are perfectly in each corner and theres no trace of any other inlay color other than black. The one in the pic had red as well, I believe it to have been tampered with, also there isn't any steel type stamped. I'm glad I found some answers but the knife still has me interested. Thanks again everyone.

i will scanthe page in my rooster book that has those knives on it
and post it here for you tommorrow.

of course its not that exactknife but the rooster looks identical.
and if parker had them made in germany he most likely had them made
in the olbertz factory which is same place f-roosters come from.

look for [post tommorrow.

Your knife is the same as the OP's knife. It came from the same factory in Germany and was made for Parker. It just has a different name stamped on it. It seems Mr. Parker was fond of using old Case Cutlery related brands among other old well known brands, with or without their permission. He had them made in the same factory that he had his Bull Dog brand knives made at. Fightin Rooster, Bull Dog, and Battle Axe (one brand not made for Parker) as well as some other brands are all made in the same German factory.

I would expect this to be made from brass
rather than gold due to the cost and weight of the later.
Not sure why noone wanted to mention this in earlier posts.
If I let the cat out of the bag, my apologies.

As others have said, its a 1990 era knife made in Germany when Parker owned Case.

The original XX era T3105 patterns were made by Case so not marked Germany, and they did not have the CASE XX on the handle.
