      Great looking knife.
    2. Caperkid, 9 years ago
      http: http://www.eBay.com antique European combo knife should get you there. You can post info from that to share.

      Thank you so much. My knife has J "a crown" R, do you know what it is?
    4. Caperkid, 9 years ago
      Possibly J Rodgers and Sons,
    5. Alitoculiny, 9 years ago
      But it not has the other symbols or marks like a cross and the asterisk

      I'm not sure what brand your knife is but it's German (or Austrian/Bohemian which amounts to the same thing); it's definitely not English. There was an "Ignatz Rosler's Sons" cutlery firm that used a similar mark. Perhaps one of the sons was J--- Rosler and used this mark later. I can't find any info. This type of knife is often miss-identified as a "hobo" knife - that's a completely different thing but the mistake is so common it's almost not worth fighting anymore. It is properly called a "slot" knife due to the slots & holes that allow it to be disassembled. It's a very nice one in excellent condition.

      All the European makers marks for European cuttlery was a bust for me too. The one that it looks like on ebay has no marks anc is not as good looking as yours. Let us know if you find out.
    8. Alitoculiny, 9 years ago
      Thank you both. I appreciate your help. Could you give me the price?
    9. UncleRon UncleRon, 9 years ago
      I just ordered a new reference book that may help. I'll have it in a week or so. Prices are really subjective. A collector of slot knives might pay a lot to get a rare mark; a collector of widely recognized brands would not want it. $50 to $150 would be a safe range. If it's older than I think, say 1890 - 1920, it would be worth more.

      Thanks for your help.

      Searching I found this webpage: http://m.noze-cz.cz/virtualni-museum/mikulasovice-nixdorf/rosler-ignaz/

      Similar mark (father?)

      And... from Nixdorf (or Frodxin), today Czech Republic (Mikulášovice) I found this, very similar but the brand is Franz Frenzel:

      If you go on ebay and search for "hobo knife" (see my comment above) you'll find many slot knives. You can see the similarity of your mark to the Ignatz Rosler mark. I have several IR knives with variations on that mark which is why I think the JR mark was a son/relative.

      Thank you sir. Very useful
    13. Alitoculiny, 9 years ago

      I think could be SÖHNE from Ignaz Söhne

    15. UncleRon UncleRon, 9 years ago
      Sohne (with the umlaut) means "sons" in German. The "J" in your mark is actually an "I". The I-R-S with crossed arrows mark that you linked to is the mark for "Ingatz Rosler's Sons" founded by two of the original Rosler's nephews and operated from 1865 thru 1945. Your mark is probably an early version which deliberately borrowed from the original Rosler mark for marketing purposes.

      Great investigative work Ron!

      Thank you very much Ron. You are the man.
