I believe the German made Winchesters were made in the late 70's.......but I've never seen these before.
Nice set.

Those bone scales are beautiful. Something about the German jigging technique really does it for me. I have a Puma 4 Star Stockman with a similar look.

Jethro,
I'm like Johnnie I'm thinking 70's, Winchester Arms Cutlery, before Bluegrass. If you use Standard Knife Guide for reference it has both Bluegrass and Winchester Arms info in it, but not a lot off info. It lists Winchester Arms muskrats @ 450. range for one knife. It also lists Bluegrass sets in the 250. range. At any rate you for sure have a super nice set of Winchester muskrats, that I'd be proud to own. One more thing I only use the SKG only for information it is not a first line source for me IMO.
