Help Identifying a vintage tang stamp
Hi, I was wondering if someone knows who the maker of a pocket knife with this tang stamp is. I am adding pictures of the stamp and the knife. Thank you!

European? Are the scales horn or metal? J.O'.

Re: Help Identifying a vintage tang stamp
@Ridgegrass I am not sure if it is US or European. I looked at several Soligen marks and does not seem to match any of them, if that helps.
It was acquired in the US. The scales are one piece copper/nickel likely metal. This tang stamp is the only marking for the knife. Thanks for your help!

Re: Help Identifying a vintage tang stamp
Is the bottom photo the same knife? On the blade to the right it almost looks like it has some marking or etching? I enlarged that section, changed the contrast, but can't make it out.Enterprise-Architect wrote: ↑Wed Sep 08, 2021 6:02 pm Hi, I was wondering if someone knows who the maker of a pocket knife with this tang stamp is.
