It is one of the rarer Maniago, Italy stamps. It has nothing to do with Mauser firearms.

Thanks Bill, I thought it was a "Mauser", I also wrote an email to the German home for news. That's why not answered;-)
because if it is a maniago has the stamp "mauser" with 3 monkeys?

I never imagined to find myself dealing with a rare piece ... the stiletto was in the garage of my father who knows how many years ... :D :D

You've got to love those "barn finds" and the stories that go with them.
You're a lucky guy.

This certainly was a great find. This is the second one I have seen with the 3 Monkeys. Rare indeed.
The other was from a fellow member, Orangeboy a few years back.
