Its certainly a nice old knife. Do you want to venture a guess at a date?

IF it is German then it would likely be early 20th c (before WW2) or later 20th c. Certainly looks German or at least from the general area.

I still think it's pre-1940 German art deco, 1920's-30's. Stu is right that it can't be 1940's or it would probably have had Nazi sentiments or markings on it, as even their coins of the period did. Post-Germany was getting away from this style of decoration and architecture, although Hans Scharoun's style remained in his works. I had some pics of some Nazi daggers, specifically the RAD dagger and motor corps daggers, as well as Italian fascist daggers of the 1930's, flag staff fittings, and badges, but I was afriad posting thier pics here from various websites might be offensive to some, so I withheld. In any case, a very nice piece...

Hi Gene ,
....ANTON WINGEN JR in within the Japanese script. A solingen cutler and knife maker..... He's usually assoc. with an 'Orthello' mark though...perhaps this pattern was made by several Solingen makers. As many have said... does have a pre WW2 look about it

Regards David

Hi David,

Heres a semi-full translation:


'Sportsman's Knife This knife is quite large.
ANTON WINGEN JR manufacturer name, and is made in Solingen, Germany. This manufacturer, and now you know better OTHELLO (Othello) is known by the name says.

Large and small blades, saws, Korukusukuryuu, Rezabora, serrated, Batendaburedo, in front of the tractor is attached extract of shotgun pellets.
Sutagguhandoru, and bolster people around the individual is indeed part of "Made in Germany" are more like well-built and built, and heavy atmosphere.'


Funnily enough, I found the page while looking to ID another folder made by OTHELLO.
It does seem to indicate that this exact 'model' was made back to the early part of the century. If the steel wasn't stainless I'd have placed it to first quarter straight away.

Regards
Gene

Hi Gene,
thanks for that.

As to the REMANIT as has already been stated, is an alloy of stainless. It was originally named and manufactured by Thyssen Edelstahlwerke AG (a German company).

I cannot find the 'time period' when Remanit was first produced though

All the best
David

Ah, thank you
I couldn't find any info on the originas of remanit, although I do think the knife is probobly early-mid 20th from the style.
Cheers mate
