Help to ID a Maker Please

Post by Mantiques »

I purchased this knife a few days ago and am tying to ID the maker. There are 3 lines of writing. The first one ends in a “RO. The second ends in an O or zero. The third line I am pretty sure reads MADE IN ITALY.

It is a parts or repair knife and does not work, I think the spring may be missing as well as other issues. Does anyone have and Idea on the maker? Thank you.

It's what is left of a Mauro Mario knife.

As Bill said. The spring is broken mid way. Warped horn handles.
