Thank you very much for the info and references, after looking at them it does seem that this is most likely a Sorocaban or indeed a "Facon". Lots of Gaucho knives show up here in the UK so it does make sense. It seems that my example is slightly unique with horn grips instead of the usual decorative silver. Alas the maker is still unidentified but I can at least start looking more confidently in the German direction. Much appreciated! |
