While researching this old fish knife in the Levine forum...

I recieved this interesting reply from member Germania with an illustration of the Germania Cutlery Works in Ohligs-Solingen Germany.

Codger 64,

I regret that by now I could not research any more information concerning Kastor company's business post 1938.
The British author Anthony Carter (The Sword and Knife Makers of Germany 1850-2000) is publishing the following information:
"The business was closed down during the Third Reich but not officially dissolved until the 20th April 1953."

From my records I can link an advertisement dated pre 1929, showing the large buidlings of that cutler.
