Thanks guy's, its the one that got me started on switchblades... ::nod::

Johnnie I have tried for years to date this one and haven't had much luck. I have always thought the 50's but it could be earlier.
Puma bought Koller after WW2, don't know if they continued to make knives with the Koller mark or not. Koller made knives for
the German army before and durring the war, most were fixed blades and camper style pocket knives. The only other stamp I
have seen has a eagle below the name, but have not been able to determine a time date for either one.... ::shrug::

Just Pick up an Anton Winger Jr Othello folding knife. I have not been able to find another one like it without the cross guard.
From what I have read its early post war WW1 ? Any information would be helpful.
Regards,
Matthew

::welcome::

It would be a safe bet to say it was made between WWI & WWII.

It is not a switchblade knife but rather a folding hunting knife.

Here's a crazy auto deseign made by Linder. It's 8" long with a 3 1/2" blade. It opens with a grand wack and locks up very solid. The crazy part about it is it has no saftey. I can't imagine why Linder would make a knife this nice without a safe carry position. When I bought it I never dreamed it would be made like this. Anyway check it out it is a nice knife.
