This afternoon, this pocket knife becomes the latest zoo resident. It is a "MADE IN GERMANY", single blade, 4 tools, "Deer Head" pocket knife. It is stamped MADE IN GERMANY. It needed very little cleaning. I took some pictures and here it is.

Very nice Skip. That one seems to be much darker than a lot you have posted. Nearly black. I like it, Gives it a more gnarly look. Looks really clean. Congrats! ::tu:: ::tu::

This afternoon, this pocket knife becomes the most recent resident in the zoo. It's the zoo's second resident that was received from Bulgaria. It is a "ROSTFREI - INOXYDABLE - M.I.GERMANY" (made in), 1 blade, 4 tool, "Deer Head" pocket knife. It came with it's original packaging (opened). It's strange that there is NO description of the item anywhere on the packaging, besides the price tag. The pocket knife can be easily removed from and returned to it's packaging without damaging the packaging any further. It did not need any cleaning. I took some pictures and here they are.

Excellent find Skip. Very good looking knife. I guess they figure with a clear bubble, you can tell what it is and they don't need to add any text to the package. :) Very nice. I wonder if the DM of the price stands for Deutsche Mark?

Yes, I believe that "DM" stands for Deutsche Mark(s).
The pocket knife was probably manufactured before the
Euro became the accepted currency.

That is correct Skip. ::nod:: Deutsche Mark. The change from DM to Euro in the cash form was on Jan. 1st 2002 so your knife is at the least, older than 2002. Three years before that, (Jan. 1st 1999), they started showing things like bank accounts in both Deutsche Mark & Euros to give people 3 years time to get used to the coming change. The exchange rate was 1 Euro = 1,95583 D-Mark. ::tu::

Nice addition to the Zoo Skip! ::tu:: :D

Yesterday, this pocket knife became the most recent resident in the zoo. It was shipped from Morocco. So this pocket knife, in addition to the two shipped from Bulgaria, the one shipped from Poland (all previously posted) and of course, the Germany connection, truly makes this an international zoo. It is a "ROSTFREI - INOXYDABLE - M.I.GERMANY" (made in), 2 blade, 4 tool, "Deer Head" pocket knife. It is also tang stamped "INOX" on the secondary blade. It is missing the bail. It did not need any cleaning. I took some pictures of it and here it is.
