That fact makes your knife more valuable Rman, and it's age contributes to that as well! Nice find!

I bought the knife from smkw in the 70s have never used it.

I never knew I had any Parker Custom Series knives until I was re-shooting some knives and found this one.What is strange it says,"Rostfrei" on it but is also marked,"Japan".

[kootenay joe]

Lots of knives from Japan marked "Stainless" but never seen one marked "Rostfrei". Parker did not sell knives in Germany as far as i know.

Roland:He may not have sold them in Germany but he sure did have some made there.When he owned Case he had some pocket knives made there. What is strange about the mark on this particular knife is the stamp says,"Surgical Steel Rostfrei" and next to it on the blade is lightly etched(may be even an ink stamp)"Japan".
