Hi guys i just found this knife but have never seen this maker.
Is it a new find or a compleate fake.
I leave it in your hands to decide
What are the initials in the logo, are they "GS"? From some experience with bayonets, I've seen this term as a generic marking for Solingen produced blades not necessarily attributed to anh specific manufacturer. The term "Garantie Solingen" is simply means that Solingen was where the piece was produced, which isn't a stretch since most of the blade producers were located in Solingen. Never seen that marking before but this doesn't mean it's bad by any means. Russ may recognize the logo.
The initials are GY in what appears to be a ring

I know this is over a decade in replying, but to me, this looks like Garantie Solingen who was a distributor in Solingen. Very interesting piece!
Can we get a close up of the maker mark? Thank you.
