England - Imperial Pocket Knife.

Post by New_Windsor_NY »

This pocket knife arrived recently in a large group or lot of pocket knives that I bought. I did NOT purchase the group or lot of pocket knives to obtain this particular pocket knife. But, I was quite surprised and pleased to "find" it and it definitely turned out to be a keeper. It is an Imperial, two blades, two springs, a single tang stamp, 3 3/8" closed, pocket knife. The main blade tang stamp reads "Imperial - England" It is in EXCELLENT condition. It needed very minimal cleaning. I took some pictures and here it is.

Very nice Skip. I've only seen a few of the Imperial England tang stamps.

Skip, just in case you haven't seen this thread, I thought you might find it helpful. If you have, maybe it will help others.
