Solingen manufacturers. (Othello is commonly credited with being one maker) You can find the 473 with both "EdgeMark" and "Edge Brand" tang stamps. The EdgeMark stamp seems to be less common. These knives were well built, with top quality high carbon steel blades and gorgeous cuts of thick stag for the handles.
The 473 is the smaller version of their bowie knife, measuring in around 10" overall, with a 6" clip blade. The handle is somewhat on the smaller side, yet the thick stag handle feels good in your hand
