Looks like an H D Smith Perfect Handle screwdriver, but Smith didn't put a trademark in that spot under the wood scales.
Another thing- the "trademark" is similar to International Harvester, but I don't think it is, and don't think they had that type of screwdriver anyway.

I second Papaw's thinking.  At first, I assumed it was IH, but then....

Overall shape doesn't look just 'right' for SMITH.

Is possible when you polish the shaft, a Made in Germany will appear.  I like this Perfect handles, replacing the scales is a learning  experience.

Plenty were made in Germany, and then there are also Irwin ones almost identical.

I think it was P,S, & W/Pexto.
I had one marked Merit and another True Value but I would guess these were contract production.

  Irwin had a hex bolster on the heavy mechanics models.
