This is a Wyeth Warranted #8 3 1/4th inch, Ebony wood the backside (tang) has a cross with circles on ( Boker?) and notice, no brass pins or liners. It has been said the criteria has been 1863 to 1963 I reckon this boy is pretty OLD! What Y'All think?
The logo on the back tang of master blade looks like a "+" with a circle on each of the 4 'arms'. I have not seen this logo previously but likely it belongs to the manufacturer in Germany.
