Thank you so much for the detailed answer! I certainly appreciate it. Sounds like overall, they are pretty nice, assuming that yours is pretty typical.According to the seller's web site when I bought it a few years ago, it was made in Germany, but country of origin is not marked on the blade. It does say "German Stainless", which means nada.
The fit and finish about matches a well done Case knife.
Single spring design. Spring is flush both open and closed. Spring strength is about equal to that of an SAK Tinker.
Maybe a tiny bit of blade rub when opening the pen blade, but the blades don't contact each other when closed.
The stag has been doctored with Potassium Permanganate or similar, so no popcorn, but it feels good in my hand. One cover is thicker than the other, but IMO, not objectionably so.
The only sharp edges were those of the blades, so nicely finished.
Here's a picture so you can see the stag thicknesses

Meanwhile, todays carry is a Remington R-151. Pretty sure made by Bear and Sons. Walnut and, I think, 440A. Fit and finish are very good.
