Anyone Recognize This Tang Stamp?

Post by Paladin »

Guys,
In a recent collection I got this trapper and the tang is stamped C&W inside a diamond shape. I have checked all my books, Google, Bing and I even checked with Arizona Custom Knives and I find nothing the matches. I tried to search AAPK but it wanted more words or something. There is a CW Knives but there is no connection so far as I can tell.
Anyone out there recognize this Logo-type stamp?

Ray; it is a relatively modern contract knife made by Queen. I had one stag trapper with a serrated blade - tang stamped Schatt & Morgan but on the back tangs and the shield stamped with the C&W mark. I don't know the story on them.

Thank you, Steve. I really appreciate the help on this. I wonder if it might relate to the Daniels family somehow?

I have a couple S&M Mini Trappers with that stamp on the pile side tang. I've posted pics of them asking the same question on the forum in years past. I recall someone replying with the answer once but for the life of me I can't remember what it was other than the obvious that it was a SFO for some company. Unfortunately, I can't find the post where that answer was given ::dang::

There are a couple C&Ws shown in this thread but no direct clue to what it stands for. Maybe it helps lead somewhere for ya.

It is a beautiful knife. Queen made some really good cutlery!

Amen and I have decided to put it up for sale. $160 will get it on the way to you. I pay postage in the USA.
