Need help in identifying this knife

[prober996]

This picklock is marked "JNR" with a crown (?) over the "N", and "GARANTIE" beneath. I have seen some German knives with the word "Garantie" on them, but none with "JNR". Anyone recognize this brand? Italian? Age?

If that is a monogram(and I think it is), it should read J R N. That may help to identify the maker.

I think the brand is German. The knife was made in Italy for them.

wow awesome find , knife was for sure made in Italy its a swedge blade picklock , knife was made in Italy for JRN company in Solingen Germany, due to blade style probably made in very late 1950's possibly up to late 1960's .

[No youre wrong]

GARANTE means Guaranteed. It could be an Italian, Spanish or French marking

It's actually "Garantie," which seems more Teutonic.
I find no reference to the mark in my German references.
Regardless- it's the mark of a seller, not the maker of the knife.

Thanks all, for the info. The knife works well, and overall is in pretty good shape for something as old as I am!
