Moore made these knives for Kennedy Bros. Arms. I spoke with Moore’s son a while back. His dad would give him an order of completed knives to deliver from Moore’s shop in Minneapolis to Kennedy Arms in St. Paul. He would take the street car to get them there.
This knife is ID’d on the handle with the vet’s name ‘D.E.W.‘.
