Each PUMA knife is factory stamped with a control number indicating in code the year and quarter of its manufacture. The coding system began in October 1964, any PUMA knife not bearing the control number was probably made prior to this date. Johann Wilhelm Lauterjung registered the PUMA trademark in 1769 with the Knifemaker's Guild in Solingen and started trading from a small shop on the Wupper river.
