Possibly related to your Lion Cutlery, but seems remote.

No picture of the tang stamp on the offered knife, but coming from the Lion Coffee Co, it might possibly have been stamped with a similar name.

These signs are awesome, but the Remington is really special.

You really peaked my interests. I keep coming back and looking at those boxes in your display. There are quite a few I have not saw before.

I hate to be a bother to you. If you have a moment could you take another photo of those 5 across the middle where the light reflection is obscuring them?

Thanks again! And hope you have a great Thanksgiving!
