German Knife, antique? cSc?
Just Got this beauty at an antique store for an amazing 10$
It feels like something of great quality.
little over 15 inches.
the blade is marked CSC ,, ? No p90? ,, Germany (see photo)
in my research I find a couple pocket knives marked CSC,
I find someone mention it could stand for Carl Schlieper Cutlery
Carl Schlieper Cutlery according to wikipedia
"company started in 1754 or 1798 and was based in Remscheid Germany. Products included knives, tools and straight razors. Markets included the booming tobacco and rubber plantation industry in Siam (Thailand), Malaysia, British North Borneo[3] and the Dutch East Indies. A subsidiary of the company in Solingen dealt in knives including slipjoints, automatic knives, gardener, dagger, hunt measurer, machete, bowie, razors, and kitchen knives. Various brand names have been used and 22 patents held by the company. In the U.S. brand names have included "Fan", "Jim Bowie" and "El Gallo" and, after World War II, the "eye brand". In 1989 Schlieper merged with Remscheider. Carl Schlieper was liquidated in bankruptcy in 1993. Production of the brand was resumed by Freidrich Olbertz in Solingen."
