Clear in-focus pictures (without shadows) of the entire knife and all stamps will help. I can’t tell from your picture what the stamp is. Some companies changed their stamps over the years which means if it’s known approximately when the changes were made, you can estimate when the knife was made. Others didn’t change stamps but changed the pattern, frame, materials, bone jigging, etc, things which can help determine the age.

Someone may recognize it but my guess is we’ll need more than you’ve provided so far. ::shrug::

You need to post better pictures if possible.
It looks like Hollinger Fremont Ohio.
If so, Goins list them 1905-1958.
Without better pictures it would be hard to narrow down further.

I think David got it. Hollinger over Fremont, Ohio. That’s about all you’re going to get based on the stamp. As stated in my prior post sometimes pictures of the entire knife will provide clues as to when a knife was made. You haven’t provided any so the stamp is all we have.
