R1123 KNOCK-OFF ?

Hi all …. Can’t find anything. On these marks “CATCO” or the circle with the 3. Not in either Goins edition and I’ve come up empty with Google searches. The knife itself seems well made actually, just a tad smaller than the R1123. I’ve included a couple pics side by side with a R1123.
Any help in identifying the marks would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Yes it is an authentic pre-WWII Cattaraugus knife. CATCO was one trademanrk that they used.

As was “3C” -

Company. Search here for CATCO. Here’s a single blade version of the same knife.

Lots of great info here,

Ain't nothing wrong with Cattaraugus, top of the line knives too.
