Was happy as a clam at high tide to add this example of a fairly rare stamp to my collection. I believe this may be my first post in this space on the forum. Although I may have posted about a small Rosco a few years back.

Very nice, PD. Sweet horn, how old do you think it is?

I believe its a NYC based importer so I'd imagine around 1954 or so? They changed to this stamp in 1950 so a 4 year window

I'd be pretty happy with that knife too! That horn looks to be in very good shape with none of the usual insect damage. Congrats! ::tu:: ::tu::

wow very nice knife , have you seen the other longer stamp ( Omega Leather&Jewelry import co. made in italy) ?
i seen one years ago i think it may have been a 13" it was on Jerry Skeltons list many years ago man i wanted it sooo bad because it was a off kinda rare stamp and the longest stamp i had seen.

Such a cool name for a switchblade. The Omega, where all things end!

I wonder if there was ever an “Alpha?”
