Thank you, Wotan,

I have the J. Anthony Carter book and put a copy of the ad with the crown stag nicker on the cardboard storage box I made for my nicker.

My friend, Mr. Kaeshammer of Oberkirch, Germany has met Henning Ritter of Hubertus.

There are stag handle hunting knives with "Kuno Ritter, Solingen" stamped on the tang. These are not the oval or round trademark.

I have not seen a Kuno Ritter stamped nicker. I am just not sure if my knife is from the 1946-1949 production run.

I will ask Mr. Kaeshammer if he knows or if he can find out from Henning Ritter.
