Bruce there are several knife companies that went with the brand name of Eagle. Eagle Brand was imported from Japan by Parker. From 1974-1991 according to Collector Guide to Knives.

This was Eagle knife co.located somewhere on east coast and I think they were one of the companys along with Camilus (Spelling? ) That made knives for Winchester pre 1940. This info from my dad who is 86 and doesnt always remember things correctly. But is a wizard when it comes to guns
thanks

Bruce,there are almost a dozen companies that used the Eagle name-The most likely candidate is The Eagle Knife Co. of New Haven, Connecticut.Founded in 1916 by the Hemming brothers- They invented certain machinery which made it possible to produce their product on an assembly line which lowered their labor costs-In 1919, Winchester purchased the Eagle firm, primarily for their machinery and methods of manufacture- This would appear to be the most likely candidate, with the bullet,pistol, and WIN reference, although I can't find any examples of a similarly styled knife-

This is great information because I just found such a knife in my dad’s belongings. Couldn’t find info online.
Do any of you know the knife’s value? It seems rare. I’m not sure what to do with it. Thanks!
