Re: Tested Trapper
I just read that knife and it said:
"I'm not really a Tested Trapper after all. Sorry"
If you know Tested knives at all you shouldn't have to look any further than the stag. NEW.

Re: Tested Trapper
It looks personally to me like 76' to 78' CASE stag. If I had to narrow that I would say this is a 77' 5254 Trapper, based on the 77' stag I own and have seen, with replaced blades. Look at the pic #11 of the backspring view of the knife. The center pin is not even close to being spun close to the scale. Sticks out on both sides at least 1/16" to 1/8'. One side of the pin appears not to even have a head on it.
Been apart and cobbled in my opinion but no expert here.
Could be wrong but that is what jumps out at me with a limited knife read. Regards, Jerry

Re: Tested Trapper
How can you see what he has purchased previously? I went to his feedback and then as a buyer and none of the items he purchased were available to view. I didn't think you could make your purchase history private if you were selling items.

Re: Tested Trapper
I think the posted knife was made out of a modern Queen trapper. Note the narrow lower bolster. Note the main blade shape which is different as compared to XX and newer Case trappers.
The Queen #19 trapper tooling resembles Case Tested era 54 tooling more closely than does the tooling for newer Case 54 patterns.

You are right on, the first thing I check on all Case trappers is the lower bolster.knifeaholic wrote:I think the posted knife was made out of a modern Queen trapper. Note the narrow lower bolster. Note the main blade shape which is different as compared to XX and newer Case trappers.

Re: Tested Trapper
I added this to my watch list. It's at $304 now and reserve not met. Interestingly enough he posted your question and reply but failed to mention any of that in the initial description.jlw257 wrote:I ask this guy about the knife and this is what he said:

Will be checking to see where it ends up.

Re: Tested Trapper
He not very truthful in the description of the knife. And I think it started life as a fake and will always be a fake. Larry

Re: Tested Trapper
Well this beauty finished at $800 plus $8 shipping. It is one thing to not be able to read the knife but another altogether to not be able to read. The seller posted his reply saying it was a parts knife and it still sold for crazy money. Yes, a parts knife with all new parts.
