Can you identify this knife maker?

I don’t recognize this brand or this emblem. There’s no name on the knife. Does anybody recognize this?

Do you have pictures of the tang stamp and any other markings from the knife? You said there is no makers name. Makers change shields occasionally, some frequently. The shield picture is out of focus, can you tell if it's glued on or pinned?

Those are the only markings. Nothing on the tang whatsoever . I received these pictures from my father. He said the only identifying mark on the knife is the emblem. I believe it’s pinned.

I see a small grove of trees and clouds.

Even if that's correct, I have no idea.

Winterbottom bone, if, indeed, it is bone, suggests Queen.

I think they sometimes had an etch and no tang stamp. Someone more knowledgeable will probably dispute that.

Maybe the shield was added by a previous owner.

So I received the actual Knife today. Turns out the emblem is a bear and there is a bear etching you can faintly make out on the blade. I researched the Bear knife company, but there knives usually just have the bear paw logo on them. I also looked up the Old Bear Knife company but the logo is different there too. I have attached pictures if anybody can be of any help.

Runs to mind that Bear Archery had made some quivers that had a pouch for a folding knife. My guess is Queen made for Bear Archery. You might search that.
