Hey...!! I think I stole that picture off the internet for my earlier collage. Glad I stole it from a good guy.

This blank is great... can't tell the time-span though. I suspect it would be later in the Vietnam era just because.

This one is a little unusual because it has the etched logo applied. I've seen pictures of several Solingen blanks that did not have the logo. I assume the logo was applied after finishing of the blade was completed and it was ready to have handle and hardware installed, which could make this one a marker of sorts for further study. Another interesting thing, often the squared-off front of the Solingen blade choll was radiused by the shop during finishing. This one was left as a right-angle.

I might have another Viet era Solingen to post tomorrow. Can't wait to see what shows up. Regards.
