    Found this very old looking pocket knife with no makers marks. Was looking for any opinions as to where or when this was made? I know some pocket knives can be hundreds of years old. I have an old ax from the 1700s that has similar pitting to the blade. Let me know what you think :) 20210703_211402_compress12.jpg 20210703_211340_compress90.jpg 20210703_211317_compress95.jpg 20210703_211259_compress35.jpg 20210703_211231_compress33.jpg 20210703_211159_compress24.jpg

    What are the scales made of? Looks like a homemade slip joint with screw driver wriggle engraving.

    Scales are brass. Not sure about the engraving

    It could be "trench art". Circa world war I or world war II. Just an idea to throw out there.
