I think you are absolutely right Roger, I would imagine it also took more time to instal then a pin.

Seems like you've been doing well lately Joe, that is a neat one. It has some pretty ivory handles.

Great full blades on that one montemojo, good score.

In my area I've never seen a Miller Bros in the wild. It man o man the knives posted here are some of the best looking knives I've ever seen.

You are a good inspector Dimitri, I think that asking Monte for better picture of the stamp is a smart idea as they do have a "cold" stamp appearance, although it could be just the light. Also, from my experience, the shield would be one that I would not associate with Miller Bros as they often used a federal shield that has 5 points on the top, rather than 4.
