This barehead jack measures 3-3/8", is covered in un-dyed bone and it's all steel - pins, liners - all of it. I can't find any reference to the brand online and the mark isn't in Goins. I'm wondering if anyone here has come across this company and knows anything about them. Thanks for looking -

I collect old German knives and i have not seen "RASY" before. It is a merchant name as there was no "RASY" manufacturer in Germany.

A contract knife then, good to know - thanks. The only info I could find on 'rasy' is that it's the Polish word for race. Not too helpful. Unless someone recognizes the design as unique to a particular manufacturer I think this one will remain a mystery.
