<p>[QUOTE="Desert Darlin`, post: 556037, member: 10267"]Thank you for your replies! I've been able to determine when Allen & Darwin were in business together, but I believe you can determine earlier designs vs later designs based on the maker mark. The maker mark on the knives has only the A&D S. Other blades I've seen have other marks, as well. </p><p>I didn't know you can determine when something was made based on the shape of the blade and the fork tines. Will look into that further. Yes, the handles are mother-of-pearl.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
