Scary Nam Era Butcher Knife

**Salt Flat** · 10-10-2017 03:53 PM

I picked these up in a second hand store. The top one has a nice U S mark and is dated 1962. The handle has a GS stamp (Gov't Services?) Have you ever seen one like this? The lower knife is unmarked and would be a good Halloween horror movie prop. Salt Flat

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles.

Did a quick little Googling.
Not sure how much help this is but there's some neat pictures in this thread: Foster Bros
Also found one like yours that SOLD on eBay about a month ago for $52 including shipping.

RC, Yes, Thanks that helps. What really caught my eye was that the Foster Bros factory was in Fulton N.Y. Coincidently my Grandparents came from Fulton and I probably have many relatives still there. Maybe one of them made my knife! There were a lot of shotgun makers in that area also. Looks like this is just a kitchen butcher knife but with an artfully shaped blade. Salt Flat

That'd be a $52 kitchen butcher knife, my friend

I ran into a couple of cooks knives somewhere recently but as they aren't "weapons" I didn't act on them.

Classic first cook knife back when cooks "cooked"! I hit a big deer back side Graf range in 82, that 5 ton made a mess of it. Mess truck pulled up guy jumped out with a few knife's like that and skinned it out. Next day we had venison stew with all the dehydrated onions and beef stock. It was fantastic as they had added in carrots, potato's, peas and corn. Dump that stuff in a canteen cup about 2200 when the wind is kicking and you have been down range since 0600. Go over to you bag beside that same truck that took it down and rack out that mountain regular fart sack felt like home.

I love the stories I get to read as a member of this forum. Thanks for sharing the memory, Bruce!!

Looks like it has a bit of a skinner profile to it also. The upswept blade belly...perfect for that job.

Bruce-- Great story and the kind of thing I was hoping to hear about. Actually makes me a little hungry for some stew! Thanks, Salt Flat
