The reason I brought this up is that a seller, who, as of late, has been dealing in a LOT of Queen parts, parts knives, and completed knives had an unfinished "BROWNING USA" marked lockback blade in his wares; and another, which I so happened to find in my browser history and just now saved the photos; which are fixed blade blanks. Which, is beginning to make me wonder if Queen was the company contracted.

Browning USA?
I am wondering, who made the early USA-made Browning knives?

Re: Browning USA?
I have a very nice Browning USA trapper. I will post pictures when rain/snow stops. Maybe someone who knows Queen knives well can confirm if it was made by Queen.

Re: Browning USA?
Queen did make some knives for Browning, circa 70's to 80's. I know of stockman patterns, but maybe there were others.
