Got it for about $90. Thanks!

I know I have seen this tang stamp before but not sure of the maker. Nothing special knife, fake stag handles, has been sharpened, button gone from safety. Why the hell did I buy this thing!!!!

Restoration is not an option for me, too expensive and blade too far gone. I have this listed on ebay. Waiting for them to kick it off. $150 or best offer. PM or go to ebay and purchase.

More tang stamp help. I think Mauro Maria, but not sure. Bolster release.

Thanks Tom!!

Just got this and not sure what I have here. Tang stamp appears to have been buffed a bit?????, not sure , blade has some slant, as I have noticed on a lot of other 11" knives. As usual I buy, pay too much and try to find out later. Any opinions, good or bad will be appreciated. IMG_6650.jpg IMG_665...

Can I safely assume that all Italians have flat springs, brass liners and all China have round springs, steel liners?

Going through my knives and found this one that I have never seen before. Any help will be appreciated.

Yes, I know that now.

Pics are in the post.

PM if interested.

Regarding posting pictures....this may not be the best way but it works for me. I email the pictures to myself using my iPhone, medium resolution, save to iPhotos, crop, then post. The medium resolution seems to be the key.
