Off Topic Unknown blade find

[Bigblue18]

Looking to get some more info on this blade as I can’t seem to find much on it besides the company itself, which is Gambill Solingen.
Found in some stuff of my great grandfathers, and would just like some more information if it’s possible.
Delete also if I didn’t post in the right place, this is my first post, and the first thing I thought about was signing up to a forum where others had more knowledge then myself.

Can't see the brand, but the blade pattern is called "Siberian Skinner", it was slightly popular with post WWII German makers and cutlery importers. The knife is post WWII, most likely late 50's - 70's.

Edit - Gambill is most likely one of the Post WWII importers mentioned above. It shows up on a fair number of knives, but there are no records of it. That's typical of the post WWII knife business, guys took up knife selling as a hobby or easy money, ran a (usually mail order) business for a few years then quit.

Thank you for the info, brand is Gambill Solingen

"Solingen" would be the city of manufacture. Famous town for cutlery.
There was and is a knife maker's association in that city. The association does not permit "Solingen" to be marked on knives not made there.

I like that knife and it was german made. If your grandfather was in the war sometimes soldiers would buy or obtain knives to bring home. My uncle bought a pocket knife there. Ill try looking for more information for you.
