Hi Paul.  Not familar with that one.  In terms of value and cleaning, that is up for debate.  I hate an ugly knife, but Im careful on what i clean and or polish.  At the least for me, oil, and at the most, a gentle restoration.  But, thats just me.  Enjoy!

I will put some Boshield on-I don't want to over clean ..that is frowned upon by many collectors.  Boshieldis used on bicycle chains and workshop accessories such as router bits.  It was formulated by Boeing.

At the least I would recommend a good coat of oil.  That way you can keep up with the "patina" =)

There you go.  That looks like a nice piece.  I'll see if I can take a few or post a few of mine.  I took some gentle polish and cleaned it up by hand.  No power tools.  Came out amazing!

Yours is in fine condition!  Really nice.

I thank all for the interest and comments so far-it adds to the enjoyment and knowledge of collecting.

  These two images are of the same Edward Zinn knife from Austria. It is a slot type that slides together for carrying and slides apart for use...as in fork, knife, and spoon. I wonder of the corkscrew-was it for a wine or a whiskey cork or both? The small blade cuts well as I accidentally found out. Glad I have my Tetanus shot. 

  The part marking/stamp is faint and is hard to catch by photos.

Oh, and I would also agree with John's assessment of the time era - late 1800's / early 1900's.
