Western Knife Co.

[wwtbob]

Hello,

I'm sure this will be a shot in the dark, but does anyone have catalogs with drawings or photos of 2-piece stag handled hunting knives using brass pins from the mid-late 30s just prior to WWII.

I'm attempting to learn the manufacturer of a knife owned by my Dad and of which I have a distant (but basically useless) photo of it taken in 1946.

I got a knife on Ebay which I thought was going to be the same model knife as my Dad's, but it turned out to be a mid 60's Sabre Solingen 131 model of an American Knife Co. (Germany).

If anyone is curious and wants to help me identify the maker of my Dad's knife, I have pictures I can send you of the knife I just acquired which looks and feels just like the pre-WWII knife.

Thanks,

Bob Marshall
