This pictures belongs to a balisong from a friend of mine and I think this engraved may be from Philippines. The initials D.R.G.M nº78639 are engraved too. DRGM is Deutsches Reichsgebrauchsmuster , a factory who made knives from 1880. This is made in German but this factory export too to Philippines and the engraved may be philipin. What do you think?
best regards

Hello Carlos,

"Deutsches Reichsgebrauchsmuster" is no specific company but means "German utility patent". According to my information it was used between 1891 and 1945.

Best regards, Helge
