Re: What did I buy??
Looks like knives that were made in Germany in 1990's i think it was. Nicely made knives but not an authorized use of the "Winchester" name i have read.
What is stamped into tang ?

I have one of those. Has the loudest snap of any knife I own. Made in Germany. I’ve been told it was unauthorized also, but mine has a box with the logo and everything. I find it hard to believe that these knives would have been unauthorized with the stamp on it and a black and red box covered with the Winchester logo. Who would take that chance? I would love to know the history on this.

Harold i do not know if Jim Parker was the person who had these unauthorized Winchester branded knives made. Roger might know as he ID'd them as from 1970's.

Shawn, I don’t think you did badly. Once you handle one of these, you realize that it’s a very well made knife. Apart from being unauthorized, these are very fine quality knives. They usually aren’t too expensive either.

It is a very attractive knife. And if from Germany probably well made.

Olie molie! That's a beaut!
I bet it is another one of parkers "ripped off" knives. Love the knives, don't like the guy. It's fair in my book.
Again beautiful "Winchester" Winchester!

Thanks for all the help guys!
I'm guessing there were other patterns made as well?? I guess I'll keep an eye out for them if so.
