Perhaps there are books with the answer to this one but unfortunately I dont have them so:
Are there anyone here who knows between which years this tang stamp was used? I think the knife is from the 80´s.. or 70´s(?).. something, but I dont know.
There are no other letters or numbers on the blade.

Sargents 6th lists it as 1991-1996. Hope this helps, Mikek

Arne I found this on the board here and it has really came in handy.
Thought I'd pass it on.

Perfect tank! That one will be usable, I think.

I can tell you for a fact that that stamping was not started until the late 1990's I believe 1998 but may have been 1996. It was first used when Queen introduced their "Red Winterbottom" bone series of knives.
I believe that it is still used by Queen, but only on their standard production Queen marked (non-SFO) knives that are made of 420SS (not D2).

Late 90´s or later, 420 SS... Learn a bit everyday. Using it for minor cutting.
Thanks all for the response.
