Help date these Imperial Fixed blades

Can you daye these by the logo, on the left is one I just picked up. It apears to be an early Imperial with no state or country just Imperial in script. Its a netter qualty than the later blade next to it. The scales apear to be real bone stag and not plastic, very thin though and a german silver guard. Any Imperial info would be great, thanks.

    Michael, A little trick I learned for posting more than one picture in one post

    1- Type your text- After the last word hit enter to move your cursor to the next blank line

    2-add the second picture you want to appear, if the order of the pictures matters

    3-Move your cursor back up to the last word in the text and hit enter again to move the cursor to the next blank line as in step1 and add your first picture.

    Michael, the Solingen Imperial's were considered high -end knives at the time-

    highend, well thats cool. the Imperial name made it less than half the price of a worn Shefield bowie with the wrong sheath at the gun show.
