<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Rec, post: 2845658, member: 6899&quot;]I did not know this brand and was curious and googled for a while. I found the articles below. nice to read I think. especially this part.</p><p><br /></p><p><i>...Following the conference of the Gold Knife Manufacturers called by the committee of the National Jewelers Board of Trade, for the purpose of discussing and establishing some basis of standard in the construction and stamping of gold knives, the following resolution was tentatively adopted:</i></p><p><i><br /></i></p><p><i>&quot;A knife stamped with a mark indicating the karat fineness such as 10K. 14K, is improperly marked if between the skeleton and the gold sheet and metal, solder or composition is inserted by any method whatsoever unless that inserted part is of the same karat fineness, to wit: 10K 14K or 18K.</i></p><p><i><br /></i></p><p><i>&quot;The trade cannot protect the consumer to the extent of indicating how thick the gold is, or how much gold is used.</i></p><p><i><br /></i></p><p><i>&quot;We agree, however, that all parts which appear to be gold must be of the karat fineness indicated. Furthermore, we believe that the consumer has the right to assume that a base metal sheet, solder or other composition inserted under a gold sheet is gold of the karat mark on the gold if the gold sheet covers the edges of the insedted part.</i></p><p><i><br /></i></p><p><i>&quot;Our decision is to the same effect even if the base metal sheet is affixed to the skeleton or movement instead of the gold. A knife made of a gold sheet and a stiffening of base metal may well be a legitimate article of trade, but the mark indicating the karat fineness is improper unless the fineness of the gold and the stiffening or inserted part is up to the karat indicated.&quot;</i></p><p><br /></p><p>Source: <i>The American Cutler</i> - February 1922 </p><p>source: <a href="https://www.925-1000.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=53028" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.925-1000.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=53028" rel="nofollow">https://www.925-1000.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=53028</a></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I have no idea if this brand is in high demand and therefore can be faked... what strikes me is, that the letter &quot;L&quot; from &quot;1-XL&quot; and &quot;N&quot; from wostenholm has a different format than what I see.</p><p>Am I imagining or do you also see the differences?</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://strazors.com/index.php?id=15" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://strazors.com/index.php?id=15" rel="nofollow">http://strazors.com/index.php?id=15</a></p><p><a href="https://www.allaboutpocketknives.com/knife_forum/viewtopic.php?t=24049" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.allaboutpocketknives.com/knife_forum/viewtopic.php?t=24049" rel="nofollow">https://www.allaboutpocketknives.com/knife_forum/viewtopic.php?t=24049</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
