#52091 Stag

The W.R. Case & Sons Cutlery Company has a very rich history that began in 1889 when William Russell (“W.R.”), Jean, John, and Andrew Case began fashioning their knives and selling them along a wagon trail in upstate New York. The company has produced countless treasures and it continues to do so as one of the most collected brands in the world.

Is there a reason why the small blade on Case/Winchester #52091 Stag would be stamped #62091?

If it is a Prototype, it seems to be common for protos to have some unusual triat, whether it be the placement of blades or the handle number being incorrrect for the knife, such as bone handled protos have the prefix "7" instead of "6". I would say on a stag prototype it would be common for the number not to be "5"

Great looking knife there, Mike - it's one of my favorites...
your question is a good one... the 2091's began as a honey bone production in the thousands for members of Blade. The deal fell through before all of the knives were assembled allowing for scale variations. The blades, already produced, were used as is - all W/C 2091 secondary blades will be stamped 62091.
