Classic Case identification
Classic Case identification
My father recently passed away and left a large knife collection. I have been going through them and found one that I can't identify. It appears to be pre 1920 and is in excellent condition. I would appreciate any help with identification and with the value. Thanks

Re: Classic Case identification
Hate to break it to you but the knife looks like a fake / counterfeit to me , master blade doesn't look right or the tang stamps and the center pin on the handles look bad as well .

Re: Classic Case identification
I believe it's authentic, the blade looks just like others I've seen. It does have a light coat of oil that gives it an unusual look on camera. The center pin does look odd but in 1905 to 1920 I would bet the manufacturing process was not perfect every time. I'm no expert though and you may be correct. I would love to know for sure.

Re: Classic Case identification
The 2 secondary blades might be right but the master tang stamp looks cold struck to me like a modern stamp .
I'm sure the experts will chime in soon .

Re: Classic Case identification
I cant find anything bout this knife that looks correct..
I will assess a grade of 46 of 100 on the HET story . .
hoping the other pieces of this collection
are more like the older Cases'

Rocket 4 I am sorry to say that the knife is not a old Case knife. Probably not even Case. We have all
made mistakes along the way in collecting knives. I know I have made many.
