    fan. I trying to find out as much information on the Puma knife I have. It's a 10" Puma Solingen model 6320 Bowie Scout with the Abercrombie & Fitch Co. Made in Germany engraving on the blade. It has the curved stag handle and both the knife and sheath are in very good condition. I'm very untested in the date of manufacture and the value of it in today's market in mint and what mine would be worth in its condition. If your interested I can send pictures via e-mail because they only allow me 3 pictures to post and I'm not even sure they are on my post. All that I know is that it was made in the 40's or 50's in Germany and that it's rare to find a 10" Puma Bowie but super rare to find one with the A&F engraving on it. PLEASE HELP!!!! It's driving me nuts that I can't find out any more information!! Thank You for your time. I'm looking forward to have some questions answered!!!

    Hi my name is Bill.Your friend Ron Copper referred me to you.he told me you were a collector of Puma knives and could possible help me out with providing information. Specifically date of manufacture and value but also any other information would be great. I thought I sent this message first. Sorry for any confusion. Thanks again!!!

    Thanks for your response, Carl.

    I can certainly appreciate how cutlery history can become rather muddled. I guess we can only speculate, in some cases, as to the steel that was used in some of our older knives.

    Cheers, to you, my friend!
