Westaco knife with deep etched blade

Post by knifegnome »

I picked up this Westaco knife, it's rough condition. The blade is deeply marked Chas. H. Marshall Ambridge Penna 1938. I'm curious about how the "etching " was done. It looks to deep for acid etching and looks to fancy for engraving and letters being in cursive . Any thoughts how it was done? I also do ancestry and was able to locate the Great Grand Daughter of Charles H. Marshall and will be shipping the knife to her.

1838 was his birth year. 1838-1912. I would guess engraved. Not a stamp or pantograph.
If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.

He was born Jan 20 1895, died July 19 1950, shipping out tomorrow to his Great GrandDaughter.
