Restoration is not an option for me, too expensive and blade too far gone. I have this listed on ebay. Waiting for them to kick it off. $150 or best offer. PM or go to ebay and purchase.

More tang stamp help. I think Mauro Maria, but not sure. Bolster release.

Thanks Tom!!

Just got this and not sure what I have here. Tang stamp appears to have been buffed a bit?????, not sure , blade has some slant, as I have noticed on a lot of other 11" knives. As usual I buy, pay too much and try to find out later. Any opinions, good or bad will be appreciated. IMG_6650.jpg IMG_665...

Can I safely assume that all Italians have flat springs, brass liners and all China have round springs, steel liners?

Going through my knives and found this one that I have never seen before. Any help will be appreciated.

Yes, I know that now.

Pics are in the post.

PM if interested.

Regarding posting pictures....this may not be the best way but it works for me. I email the pictures to myself using my iPhone, medium resolution, save to iPhotos, crop, then post. The medium resolution seems to be the key.

Thanks. Wish I had someone here who would show some interest.

The rest.....and thanks for looking at them, no one at my house is interested.

Ok, here's mine. A few more in drawers not in the pics. Few more in the next post.

Regarding getting knives out and looking at them.....I get them out about once a month. I have no one else to show them to. Only two people have ever seen my collection.
