Photos Looking for info on buck knife

[J. Mikelsons]

Hey!

I'm hoping someone has some information about this knife, it was gifted to me over ten years ago in Parksville, BC. I had just moved to Vancouver Island and didn't have a cougar knife!

The knife was purchased from an old guy at a flea market in Parksville, the previous owner thought it may be from the 30s.. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!!

Nothing to do with Buck. Looks like one of the many generic stag handled hunting knives imported from Germany in the 50s and 60s. Possibly broken and reshaped at the tip also from the looks of it.

Thanks! Just educated myself on 'Buck' knives.. I stand corrected

The hexagonal brass nut makes me think the knife is from British origin, not German.
The blade used to be quite a bit longer.
