Also on page 116 CASE The First 100 Years there is a Blue Scroll 75th Anniversary set with engraved bolsters this set has eight floding knives only one 33 pattern. What is the difference between the 33 and the033?

Well the only blue scroll sets that were sold together as "sets" were the engraved ones - the others were shipped in boxes of six of the same pattern same as regular Case knives. In the sets, I am sure that each set would only get a 5233 OR a 52033 since the way Case looked at it they were the same knife just a change in tooling.

a change in tooling would make sense. i can't tell the difference between the 33 and 033 pattern. thanks for the info.

Here are the two 5233 & 52033 Blue Scrolls

In the picture the dots on the 52033 are farther apart than on the 5233 and the 52033 is a little wider. I guess this is the reason for the 0, which I thinks means a difference from the original pattern.

I'm no expert, but the stamp and the blade engraving on the 52033 look a little fishy to me.
