I have one of the identical post cards. I don't know when they made them but, I have had mine for about 10 - 15 years.

It's weird that an Italian company was using an American Indian on their postcards.

I won a bet at a gun show in the late 1970s.
A vendor had a Jndiana stag folding hunter for sale for around $100.
I told him they were readily available for $29.95. He told me I was crazy, and bet me. So, I went to the car and got my Atlanta Cutlery catalog and showed him.

But the people buying them weren't American Indians. I've never heard of an Indian chief being shorthand for the US.

I doubt anyone here is offended. Pontiac use an Indian chief as a mascot. Many US coins had Indian heads on them.

Maybe Jindiana should recall all of their knives? 🐵
