Shell puller (Robert Klaas) Age?

Post by Aichmomania »

Had this knife for a while now, Looks like it has lived a hard life :wink: but fully functional.
Is it one from the 50s? or is it older, like the 20s/30s?

It's at least 1950s, possibly older.
I have never seen a Klaas shell puller.

Nice one!
According to the information I found online, your stamp was used from the 50s.
While the stamp on mine was used in the 20s/30s. Although I don't know if it's true
