QCCC stands for Queen Cutlery Collectors Club. There should be a year on it somewhere.
 
Well, let's see if I can help with the content...

The folks are likely going to require better pictures in order to give you better info. take a shot of the tang markings. Also the overall knife on a neutral background. And don't use a flash.
 
Well I think I can fix the duplicate thread.
I will merge the threads so you get all the comments in one place.
 
thanks knarfeng my tablet told me the first post errored my apologies i'm going to try to get better pics of it cause i cant find anything on it.
 
As our esteem bdev mention the 06 is the pattern and for additional information there were 100 made in each handle material, Ebony Wood, Winterbottom Bone (WB), Antique Green Bone and Stag which began in 2008..................next the English Jack followed by the Cotton Sampler............
 
Yes, I had a QCCC that I recently sold that was made in 2008. It was in abalone covers and a Cotton Sampler.
 
As stamped on the blade, Queen City Cutlery Company. Jim's info in post #13 is all correct, the only thing I can add is that the blade steel is 1095.
 
It's a decent big Teardrop, a pattern that's not so common either.

I have the Winterbottom Bone version that the OP shows, a Greenbone and an Ebony example. Fit & finish is somewhat variable, the Winterbottom and Ebony are very good, tight no gaps or play, the Greenbone one was not so good from the start. blade play, plenty of gaps and damaged jigging (which the dealer would not take back, last order he'll get from me) I use the Greenbone one and it has developed nice patina, the bone remains rather fragile and mismatched.

I like the nickel liners on these, absence of brass is good.
 
I believe the Queen City Brand might have been a SFO made by Queen for Ken Daniels. The brand has recently been revived and made by Queen and marketed by Frank Powers.
 
Tell me more...

I'm sorry, this information actually refers to Queen Classics not Queen City.
