Kart, those are interesting. Can you give us some details on the tang stamps? Where were these knives made?

I've seen a few on Ebay i'm sure there's alot a different makers from all the different regions that were in the USSR--post more & welcome

Very interesting, we don`t see many old Russian pocket knives around here.

Thanks for showing them

Kart - Being in Eastern Europe, would you have any information on this knife? Four inches long closed with horn handles. What leads me to think E. Europe is the backwards "N". Thanks a lot.

Thanks a lot Kart. I see from searching that Gerlach does use a crown in their stamp, but they are also marked "Gerlach".

Kart, that is a pretty nice looking knife all Gun Blued

I believe both of these knives were made in the USSR. I bought them from a Bulgarian Railroad man.

Kart, pm sent.

Can anyone give me any information on the knives I posted earlier? Maybe confirm that they were made in the USSR/Russia? As I said I bought them from a man who had retired from the Bulgarian Rail Road.

timlucen,

Thank You very much! Any information I can get is greatly appreciated. Is there some literature I can get on these knives? I'd like to learn more about knives from USSR. I know a good deal about knives from the USA, Western Europe, and Asia but very little about knives from the USSR.
