Pocket knife identification GE?

Post by Tru Bastart »

Hi there. This is my first post. Kind of exciting. Please correct me if I blunder. I picked up this senator pen style pocket knife and I just haven't been able to ID it. The name on the blade is almost entirely gone. What is left is, I believe, the bottom of the first two letters. again, I believe they are GE. Like I said, it is only the bottom half. The only book I have on older pocketknives is 1983 official price guide, which names the shield type as
"S 110". I thought Gerber but it wasn't really their style . The pins through the bolsters are not all that common , I don't think. If you have any info that you would care to lay on me, I would appreciate it. I just don't feel right not knowing. Thank you

Without an enlarged, clear picture of the tang stamp, or what's left of it,
my guess would be the "GE" could possibly be GERMANY.

Take an ordinary wooden pencil and rub the writing tip against the marking on the tang. This will remove crud from the area and make it easier to see in your pictures.

I will try that. Thank you for the heads up. Sorry it took me so long to reply. I began teaching myself how to mix multi-channel audio recordings. I think this is the first time I've come up for air.

The pivot pins being darker is usually a sign of German origins. Almost certainly a German knife with the ge being visible. Beyond that I imagine it'll be tough to pin down a specific firm.
