just purchased these unusual stamp. It's Hero Cutlery of Philadelphia. Goins shows a German company but no ties to Philadelphia. Could be an import but I found a mention of a manufacturer in Phili with that name. Hummm. Any help?
Everybody knows I'm focused on knives from PA. But I am stumped on this rare one

Does not look German made to me, early American or English most likely.

I agree that it has an American look. Couldn't find any info but it sure does ring my bells.

At first I thought it was an abbreviation for Herder. Odd one for sure.
