Yard Sale Find :)

[afishhunter]

While out riding my trike around and about today, I happened upon a storage sale.
One of the pocket knives was worth getting, even if it is an advertising knife for The Royal Canadian Mounted Police.

I'm 97.8% sure the blade is carbon steel since it has a patina.

The tang stamp says
"SWAN WORKS
SOLINGEN
GERMANY"

The mark side has a thin plastic sheet with color artwork, but in rough shape.
Pile side has a wood cover.
No bolsters. (Shadow Pattern?)

I think it was worth the $1.00 I paid.

Need photos to verify story..... haha!

I very much like Swan Works and I very much like advertising knives (especially all metal) so by my standards you are two 4 two!

edit - but I agree..... pics...

Unfortunately, my "smart" phone is to stupid to post pictures ... or maybe I am ...

Have you tried https://postimages.org/ yet ?
You Can use it to host images to post, you just have to actually give it a try.

Take a picture, hit that link I just posted, hit choose image, select the picture you've just taken, hit done, once the picture has uploaded scroll down to the hotlink for forums and hit it's blue icon to copy it, lastly tap and hold in your post and hit paste.

You can do this, and following these very simple steps will get a picture here for us to see.
