"Premium Stock Knife" deeply stamped into the clip blade is seen on knives made by a number of different Solingen knife manufacturers. I think these were made after WW II but there could be some from earlier as well.
If you found another knife with the exact same font & size and depth of stamping that is marked as to manufacturer, then yours might be by the same manufacturer. However even this would not be actual proof as there were many Solingen manufacturers that made knife parts including blades and sold them to the knife manufacturers.

Roland is correct about the deep stamped premium stock knife being on meant different German stockman.It is a German knife.

I don't know as to the manufacturer, but I do think that you did a great job on the restoral! I have bought knives before just because I felt sorry for them!

What did you use to fix the bone handle out of curiosity?
I collect pre-1950’s bone, stag, and wood handled high quality knives.
