If you can get a photo of this on your knife for others to see that would be great ::tu::

It's much like this one I found today while talking with an old friend. Any clue of the value?

Back to the "R":
"Rostfrei" is German for stainless. Here's a bit of an oddity. It's a half-moon stamp, UTICA CUTLERY, Utica N.Y. Muskrat with the "R" on each blade. Definitely stainless. Why would they use the German abbreviation ? Made for export ? Just abbreviating "rust-free" ?::shrug::
Also wonder what formula that early stainless was ? Nice old piece anyway. J.O'.
