Could even be pre-WWI but 1920's is a reasonable assumption.

Thank you for sharing those, they are very interesting..do you know if my best guess time of the 1920s fits this design? WB

By the same name in Brooklyn new york from 1800s to 1920..when he moved it to lindon New Jersey..so I'm assuming this knife is before the 1920s move..IT is made well , good snap ..brass liners .celluloid( French) ivory ..small stabilized crack..pin sits proud on both sides of end with crack..so I assume it had a bale that is lost to time..but no blade play very solid little knife I like the little blade pull.. German? English? It seems i recall seeing that little( bee hive ?) mark Somewhere but don't recall where?

Sorry it took so long, but here it is.
D.PERES
SOLINGEN
GERMANY
It originally was handled in French ivory celluloid.
Rehandled in acrylic by Bob/Elvis.
By the way he also rehandled the Kabar folding hunter in the picture, it had smooth black delrin.

I was reminded, on this thread, of a knife I probably hadn't even thought about in the last 25 years and I learned a little about it. I have one of the Peres knives and dug it out to show. As far as timeframe, if the engraving of the Detroit Harbor is accurate, I would say pre 1928 because I don't see the Penobscot building which was completed in that year.
I have also pictured another knife, which I had thought was the same maker, but it is a Joseph Feist, of which I know nothing and need to research. Thanks, hope no one minds me adding to this thread.
