Here is a vintage Wingen Solingen Germany carving set that has never been used. It is Walrus Ivory. In mint condition. Made sometimes in the 50,s. Knife measures a little over 10 inches and scrimshaw is of a seen of indian in a Kayak with sunrise and mountians. The fork is 8 5/8 inches long and is a seen of a Polar bear chasing a seal into a hole in the Ice. Comes in origanal box. 75.00 plus 10.00 priority mail in Cont. There were several companies that made this style and some are sighned nugurak which was a company that hired Indians ( or anyone) to do scrimshaw. USA. These are from that time period.

No but here are links from others I have sold and it has the grain stucture that is Walrus ivory which is different than elephant. Look at my website and you can see I use a lot of ivory and these sets were commonly made with walrus ivory with several factories from this time frame. If you feel it is not I will gladly refund as I gurantee that they are. Here are links where I have sold others from my collection.
