Bought a knife this weekend on the Puces market in Paris. Looks to me like a Sabatier / Nogent style knife. It’s about 30 cm / 12 inches very flexibel and slender carbon blade. I can’t find anything online about the makers mark. I see the numbers 303 and maybe the logo has the letter T D?

Hopefully one of you experts can help me out!

Nice find! That won't be an easy one. First to describe the image, and secondly: I've problems making the search engine on marques-de-thiers.fr actually working. A shame, because it's a collection of all registered trade marks as found with the registrar's office at the local court, with pictures of the original documents.

Thanks! hmm website looks interesting but indeed can't seem to get a search in either. Will try again later.

I am also thinking the T in the logo has some resemblance to a French Fleur de lis, might help the search...?

More poetic than the hallebarde which was my first thought.
 
My guesses: Almost certainly pre-1950s, although it's possible that it may be post-WW2 because I know for a fact Henckels made Nogents like that *after* the war. Probably older than that era though. I certainly get the 'French-made' vibe from it (or BeNeLux area) as opposed to Germany or the UK.
It's a beautiful knife, and it looks to be in much better than average condition.
 
I can't help you on the maker but that is in great shape besides the staining! Great score!
