I just bought Bill Ellis book so that I can restore it and was just wonder if anyone knew of the make of blade. I will put up pics as soon as I can.
The markings on the blade are
"Colinger Made in Germany"
and on the other side
"Fanger 500"
It also has a metal marking sticker on one of the scales. It looks like a man with a trumpet and under it has the words "Registered".
Just wondering if anyone knows of the make as I cannot find anything on the Internet.
Cheers
