Thanks to all of the comments on the Browning. I bought this one and the United 'Rattlesnake' I just posted from the wife of a collector that passed away a few years ago. I was told the Browning was made in the early to mid 80's. It has stainless blades but I don't know who designed or manufactured for them. I know they have knives made in USA, Germany, and Japan. I have several Brownings and all seem to be of better than average quality. I have seen a couple of these online in the past but otherwise know nothing about them. Any info is more than appreciated.

Awesome looking knife! I had Browning's equivalent of a Buck 110 from the 70's. I don't remember the exact year but it was definitely the early 70's. Paragraph below is excerpted from Wikipedia's page on Browning Arms Company...

Knives[edit]

In 1968, Browning introduced a line of cutlery in the form of 3 fixed-blade hunting knives and a folding knife designed by Custom Knifemaker Gil Hibben. Over the years the lineup has grown and Browning has teamed up with other knifemakers such as Jerry Fisk, Bailey Bradshaw, John Fitch, Joseph Keeslar and James Crowell of the American Bladesmith Society.^[4] In 2004 Browning partnered with several custom knifemakers to produce a series of "Living History Knives" honoring famous American Generals and battles. The lineup included a Liberty Tree Knife made by Larry Harley; a Robert E. Lee Knife and an Alamo Knife honoring Jim Bowie designed by Jerry Fisk; an Ike Knife honoring Dwight David Eisenhower designed by Jim Crowell and a Crazy Horse Knife by Brent Evans.^[5] Browning has recently partnered with Big-game hunter, Russ Kommer as their knife designer.^[6]

Very nice, unusual piece. It's from the mid to late 1980s. Am I correct? Browning got into knives in the early 1980s I believe and they still offer knives that range from cheap to mucho expensive.

The first couple of years they offered USA made knives, the next couple years they offered German made knives followed by Japan made ones. These 1980s Browning knives are very desirable today.
