I am new to this forum but have (3) F.J. Richtig knives. Two of them are kitchen/utility knives with the cast aluminum handles that he was known for. One is a hunter, with leather handle and brass hardware, and it came with the bolt that was cut by it. I was fortunate to get this knife before somebody completely polished off the F.J.R. markings on the pommel. I hope my photos post OK.

If you are looking for some specific stampings I can get you photo's of all three stamps that Richtig used. Later this year I hope to get some pictures of some of Richtigs more rare pieces.

dave,

Yes, I was looking to see what stamps he used and any variations they have.

Here are photos of the three stamps Richtig used. The two large stamps are seen alot together and the small stamp is used a lot on his earlier knives along with most of the leather washer handle ones.

The last photo is of Sid the owner of the Richtig Display board. The photos were taken of knives actually on the board.

Folks here are some photos of my Collection of Richtigs.

The scraper is a rare one. Richtig also made some odd pieces with aluminum handles. I've seen paint scrapers, leather cutting knives and grouting knives. He is also known to make a hatchet and serving forks from time to time.

I have this old knife I inherited from my grandfather who served in WWII. It has ABSOLUTELY NO MARKINGS LEFT ON IT. In fact the only way I came to the possible conclusion that it could be a F.J. Richtig is the Alfred Cornish sheath and an internet search gave me this forum. So here is a picture with the sheath. If you have questions, feel free to ask. I'm just want to know if this is or might be a F.J.R. Knife.

Wow, Nice story. Every indication points to an Original leather handled Richtig. You accurate when you notice the Cornish sheath alot of the original sheaths did not make it. That is a really good example. The handle of the knife really points to a Richtig. The long tang extending through the butt cap is a really good indication and the spacer material and how it is stacked.

I believe you have a wonderful example of Richtigs work.

Thanks for sharing
