i think you mean G.C. Co. which stands for the Guttman Cutlery Company...
i think they are/were from germany, but i could be wrong...

Mr. Bigg is close- Gutmann Cutlery was/is a US importer. Your knife was probably made by the Mauro Mario consortium in Maniago, Italy after 1958.

thanks for clarifying that bill, did they ever import auto's with their stamp?
pre-1958?
