Hey Roger, Any idea who made this Maher? Also what is that "Hole" where the front right pin is for?? Looks factory made this way too me but I dont know why. I dont even know what the handles are made of,,,regular smooth bone?
Thx bro
Kindest Regards,

Hey Guys, Here are a couple more interesting Maher knives. It may be hard to tell from the pics but both knives are same size 3 3/4" Closed.
One knife has a much thicker backspring & Master blade & The extra handle pin on front side is located in a different spot than its twin sister knife. The knife that has Etching & long pulls on both blades is the knife with "smaller" thickness blade & backspring but also has a "Curved Stamping" secondary blade. Cool huh

Those jacks have some age.Lightly very early 1900's late 1800's.The top knives I haven't seen anything like it before.I think it is re-handled.Undyed bone and carved.I would speculate it had pearl that was damaged.

Thx Mr. Roger for taking the time to comment Sir. Much appreciated as Always

The ~3" swell center pen looks like front handle is ivory and rear is a replacement with bone ? Stanhope viewer with lens missing ?
Here is a nice old 3 5/16" Maher & Grosh pen knife. Solid knife with nicely rounded handles.

Nice Maher there Mr. Roland. I was thinking it was a Stanhope viewer myself
When I get better pics, I will post them

Did a little trading to get this "El Diablo"

Kieth, that is one heck of a knife. That etch is all there. Looks to be unsharpened as well. Very , very nice sir. Would this one be available for sale ?

Pretty sweet Keith

I was looking back at some old threads, do you still have yours Harold?

Keith, nice el diablo. The clip blade on those has an appealing design with curving and swedging.

Do still have it, but it is light years from your knife. Harold

Beautiful knife Keith. But not a Remington???

I have picked up a couple recently that I haven't posted.Here is a white etched Montana Favorite.

Traded Keith out of his "El diablo ".

It’s hard to imagine those surviving as they are. It doesn’t get any better for collectors. Just doesn’t.

Nice Roger!

Harold

I like that el diablo knife. If your board go to the Remington forum to see what I got from Roger on the trade.

Picked up this Maher and Grosh today don’t know anything about it
