Knife isn't a "muskrat" pattern, it is called a "slimline trapper" The delrin scales (handles) indicate made from 1960s-now. Looks like a cheaply made one, Goldn could be right about it being an import but it could be made by Colonial or one of the other American manufacturers of lower end pocket knives. You'll never know the maker for sure due to the severe rust.
