"TEJA & ROSA"
... recent find in the wild,... a 28cm pick-lock with the "TEJA & ROSA" tang stamp,... excellent as new condition,.. from an estate in Philadelphia,... I know they were some of the first suppliers of switchblades for the LATAMA importing company, but have never seen one with their personal stamp,... If there are any more out there, I would like to see them posted,.. maybe a are knife,... well made,.. scales are tightly fitted and flush with the bolsters,.. handle is rounded in the old style, not flat sided like newer style,.. knife is as from the makers and untouched,.... if you have one, post some photos, please,... !!! (knife makers Teja and Rosa are on the far left in the group photo with the Latama import representatives)

Re: "TEJA & ROSA"
Outstanding example of an uncommon stamp! Thanks for sharing. I have seen those old photos in one of the reference books, but can't remember which one.

This one is 9”. Someone, at some time, apparently tried to clean this one and left the blade very “smooth” so nothing about the blade is crisp, including the stamp.
