<p>Out of curiosity, what happens if you have an EBRO Bowie knife similar to the above, but it does NOT have the "Alfred Williams Sheffield England" stamp on it? I just won the following on eBay, but I wonder as to authenticity/date of manufacture:</p>

The handle appears to be in great shape. Nice pattern and a nice find! The vintage is likely correct, possibly earlier - its got the age, wear and markings. Look back on the Knife World/KNIFE Magazine website and you should be able to track down that issue - it will tell you everything about this style knife. Enjoy</p>

<p>I found this EBRO knife during an auction. I was wondering if you all could shine any light on it for me. It looks pretty well made and the aging looks right. A note with it said WWII maybe.</p>

<p>Michael- As to which they made more of, I have no idea and no clue as to where to begin looking for the information, short of finding a set of Adolph Kastor invoices or import records. BTW, your Bowie not only came in a 5" and 6" version, but a 7" as well.</p>
