Looks English and much older than the Buck USA knives.

Welcome to the forums Nick! Your knife looks to be possibly of German manufacture.The steel pivot pin and the the little line under the "o" in Co. are usually pretty good indicators of German manufacture.As to it's age I would say likely between the end of WWI and around 1940.The value is likely minimal due to the broken blade but it is still a nice old knife.Thanks for posting it.

Welcome to AAPK.
Goins Encyclopedia of Cutlery Markings lists Buck Cutlery Co. as a German brand estimated to have been made from 1920 to 1940. There is no relationship to the U.S. based Buck which was founded in 1963.
For posterity here’s the OP knife. We like to have the pictures posted on the forum, so they don’t disappear when the website hosting the pictures deletes them for whatever reason. This way at some future time when someone reads this thread they don’t have to wonder “what were they talking about?” For that reason AAPK encourages pictures and has ample storage to keep them.
