Yeah, that's a nice one!
Re: Hubertus lever
A tang stamped Hubie (1955-1972 according to credible research) in fine shape with great stag. Now that is what I like!

Re: Hubertus lever
Beautiful tang stamped Hubertus, great find! And, Jim, thanks for the dates info. I don't think I realized there was a date difference in the dark and grey blade etches.

Re: Hubertus lever
Jim ~ Thanks so much! Info on German Springmesser seems hard to find.... now that we have books on the American and Italian switchblades, when is somebody going to tackle the rest of the world? I'd love to see a book on German and French knives!

Re: Hubertus lever

I'm not what sure what you are referring to, might you have a photo?
