I have an old knife that I bought on eBay. It was cheap, old and cool... those are my 3 factors when buying lol. I have some trouble uploading a pic to this site sometimes, hopefully these come through.Anyway, there are plenty of factors that any Marbles guy would probably know pretty quick. First, this knife has no markings. It does appear to be old but no grinding marks or anywhere near enough wear to remove a maker's Mark completely. Second is the leather guard. The handle is stacked leather, the pommel is metal of some sort and the finger guard appears to be leather as well, though it is sturdier, it's still slightly pliable like leather. Overall this knife is beautiful, nice patina, no real damage other than a few dings on the handle etc. It looks well made enough to be a Marbles blade. I thought maybe a war time knife that was shipped in a hurry by any number of manufacturers... no time to stamp? I just know this odd knife is not hand made, it's just too perfect. It boggles my mind that it isn't marked. Thanks for any help. I will attempt to upload pics to help. Obviously hard to identify without seeing but I hoped I had a few tell tale signs to either lead me into or away from this being a Marbles knife. I would be very happy if it was! Thanks in advance.
