Very fine Barehead Jack Charles. I think this would be a good pattern for GEC to reproduce.

Just found this Ulster Jack knife. Any further information greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Utah, that Valley Forge is interesting. I assume both nail nicks are on the pile side, I haven't ever seen that configuration.
VF was purchased ca. 1890 by Boker USA which continued to use this brand till ca. 1950. The golden age of VF was before WW2 when they produced quality knives. I am not an expert on VF knives but I think this is pre WW2 knife.

The Valley Forge tang stamping does not look right to me & i agree odd never seen before pattern. It could be 'home made' rather than factory original. There are lots of vintage USA folders 'out there' that are an assembly of various knife parts +/- faked tang stamping.
But the knife world is also full of exceptions, so i could be wrong. Would like to hear from Valley Forge/Boker U.S.A. collector on this one.

Hey KJ,
can you explain what do you thing is wrong with tang stamp? I agree that the pattern is not so common and may look suspicious
