Re: What did I buy??
Looks like knives that were made in Germany in 1990's i think it was. Nicely made knives but not an authorized use of the "Winchester" name i have read.
What is stamped into tang ?

I have one of those. Has the loudest snap of any knife I own. Made in Germany. I’ve been told it was unauthorized also, but mine has a box with the logo and everything. I find it hard to believe that these knives would have been unauthorized with the stamp on it and a black and red box covered with the Winchester logo. Who would take that chance? I would love to know the history on this.

It isn't mint but still nice with some light spots on the blades. couldn't pass on it cause I like the big Jack patterns.

Harold i do not know if Jim Parker was the person who had these unauthorized Winchester branded knives made. Roger might know as he ID'd them as from 1970's.

Shawn, I don’t think you did badly. Once you handle one of these, you realize that it’s a very well made knife. Apart from being unauthorized, these are very fine quality knives. They usually aren’t too expensive either.

It is a very attractive knife. And if from Germany probably well made.

Olie molie! That's a beaut!
I bet it is another one of parkers "ripped off" knives. Love the knives, don't like the guy. It's fair in my book.
Again beautiful "Winchester" Winchester!

Re: What did I buy??
Thanks for all the help guys!
I'm guessing there were other patterns made as well?? I guess I'll keep an eye out for them if so.
