      Solingen is a city in Germany which has been a cutlery producing center for centuries. However, in this case with the name marked on the shield rather than on the blade (and everything that follows) I believe it is just advertising - to give the impression that the knife is German. If the knife was produced in Germany the mark "stainless" on the blade would more likely be "rostfrei" or "inox" - both European words denoting stainless steel. The handle scales are not ivory - they are plastic. Note that there are no pins holding the scales on. They are either glued on or "snapped" on with some form of hidden latching mechanism. The metal bolsters are castings. In the absence of any other mark on the knife, all of this leads me to believe that the knife was made in the Far East - Taiwan, Pakistan, or China. The overall construction is consistent with your date and, if made in Germany, it would have had that stamped into the blade (required by law after 1964). Far Eastern manufacturers often "marked" their knives with removable stickers or faint etching which could be easily polished off.

      Uncle Ron beat me to the punch. I'm curious to know, though, what the other side of the blade looks like, since you showed only one side. I'm wondering if the country of manufacture is stamped on the other side, either on the tang or on the blade's spine??? [;>)
