Hi I have a knife that looks just like the vintage pic Germany trappers/hunting skinning knife. My dad found this knife on a hunting trip in British Columbia above fort Nelson British Columbia Canada at a old prospector gold mine around 1960. I was in my teens thin. He said he found the gold site by a accident. It has a name that starts with an L and that’s about all I can tell. This knife could have been lost years before no way of telling. I was wondering if you might have some info of how old this knife could be.

I appreciate the description, but have a suggestion regarding phrase "up to Green River". "The trapper's famous Green River knife...were made beginning in 1834 - by John Russell on the Green River in Greenfield Massachusetts...To drive a knife in "up to Green River" meant all the way to the hilt; to the factory stamp" "A Majority of Scoundrels An Informal History of The Rocky Mountain Fur Company", Don Berry, Oregon State University Press, 1961, pg 68 (A Northwest reprints edition, 2006)
