Here is a couple old knives I have, that I don't know much about, the 1st was given to me by my Grandfather, and reminds me of a paring knife. It has a Brass Sheath, and the knife itself appears handmade, as it has a nut on the end holding it all together.
The Sheath has Stamped G.Joh.Berg, and the knife on the Blade has a definite "A" but I cannot make out the other letter before that. I am more curious of the name on the sheath, so anyone have any idea let me know, will post the other picture with the other knifes soon.
Who what where? Anyone know anything about these knives?

Now this knife was given to me from my dad, and neither one of us know anything about it. This has what appears to be some type of carved Horn for a handle, and has the engravings on the blade. It comes with a wood Sheath with what I would say is Aluminum maybe, seems pretty Light.
No other Marking on this at all.

fixed blades
Hey SFC ADP;
The straight knife appears to be somewhere between a TOLLEKNIV a Norwegian whittling knife and a Norwegian STASKNIV a Dress knife about 8" long overall, in excellent condition if these id's are correct up to a couple hundred depending upon embellishments.
The curved handle looks like a Philippine Punal 13" long.could be up to three hundred.
As always prices are just something in a book.

Hi SFC;
There was an Eric Anton Berg in Eskilstuna, Sweden around turn of last cenyury, Who knows maybe an offspring who went to Norway.
Good Luck in your quest for an LGIV. All around its worth whatever you have to pay for it.
