Frank Turley Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 it has the appearance of a Kohlswa. Some of them had the little step-like ledges at the base, a little like the British made Peter Wrights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIGGUNDOCTOR Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Sodefors is also Swedish. And I think they used that name, but don't quote me on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frosty Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Welcome aboard Billy, glad to have you. If you put your general location in the header you could find you have mates down under within visiting distance. I vote Soderfors, mine is a Sorceress and they had "royal" model names. I don't think you'll ever forge on a finer anvil than that beauty. Congratulations you're about to be spoiled completely you LUCKY dog. Frosty The Lucky.

BIGGUNDOCTOR Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Hmmm, I'll have to take a closer look at my 306# Sodefors for a name. I never noticed one before-kinda rough in that area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look on the side away from the cast proud, Soderfors Sweden side. The model names are usually stamped in with the date and weight. You might need to rub it with chalk and photo under oblique light if it's been roughed up. Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan C Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 I think I'm going to need a closer look, please send it here to me in Texas. I'll even pay for shipping! Don't leave us in such suspense, how'd you come by that beauty!?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
