no, the "tang" is what the handle goes on. That stamp is on the "ricasso".

Oh, other people in knife forums referred to them as tang stamps. :) I'm researching on the fly!

There are stamps on the "tang" also.... I cleaned up the steel a little. Not sure of what significance those numbers are.
I knew about the town of Solingen, known for knifemaking. Too bad the world introduced them to plastic, lol.

Seems like it could be a lot newer than 50 years. One of the ways we date German musical instruments (usually violins, violas, and such) is whether or not the country of manufacture is listed with or with out W. or West preceding Germany. Pre WWII will not have such an identifier and neither will post 1989-ish pieces but anything in between will always have such a mark. The presence of plastics I think would most likely point it to post 1989 as opposed to pre WWII.

Is it possible the plastic is actually celluloid?

And, since I really don't know a damn thing about the history of German cutlery, are there known examples of pre WWII blades whose markings behave in a similar fashion to what I've outlined?

P.I.C was bought out by another company later in its years, sone swiss company I think. I'll have to research it's history. It's a great possibility that they retained their tang stamp post buy out. I'll research and let you know!
