Thank you. Mine is similar, but not as fancy but much older (I think). Will post some pics today.....

Day or so late, but here are the pics. Restore or sell "as is"?
History? Date mfg? Scales appear to be Ivory (?)
Thank you..

Neat knife for sure...

Looked for it in Levine's guide to knives...none to be found.
Well..."Hobo knives" were there...none by Henkels.
Also none were listed in the 1940 Shooter's Bible...for what that is worth.

The handles sure look like ivory.
As far as restoring it...I'd just wipe it down with oil to get rid of the new rust....sharpen it...and call it good.
looking forward to seeing it for sale...maybe it will be in my price range...

Thanks Andy...I have looked everwhere for anything on it....sswish I could find out more info before I try and sell it, or at least a comp.
Maybe a collector will weigh in.
Did i mention to you about the Johnathan Browing .50 I picked up?
