not H&B John but a fine educated guess

Southington

That's a beautiful knife, Tom, but, I must admit, every horsemans/farrier style knife looks Sheffield made to me

Do I get partial credit for identifying the best dog you ever had?

Not Southington Lyle and yes Q, you get my love and admiration for calling out Holley

That is an incredibly attractive piece of vintage cutlery, Tom; I needed some time to drool over it before I could move on and post the next mystery knife And while I'm certain someone would eventually have guessed Meriden by process of elimination, I must confess that AI was the only reason I got to it first; I'm really not that knowledgeable about vintage knives

For the next mystery knife, let's try something a little different:
Instead of the maker, can anyone guess the COUNTRY OF ORIGIN? (it's NOT USA)
Double bonus points for also identifying the manufacturer

Germany O'.
