Case Trapper

Post by volsdad0110 »

On the 1965-1969 Case Trapper How can you tell if one is a first model and did they make a red bone one in 1965-1969.

I think the difference is in the etch.
The 65-69 first model did NOT have the words razor edge in it.

In the price guide it says brushed or polished how can you tell the difference on that.

For the USA stainless trappers:

First model is etched CASE XX STAINLESS

All others etched CASE XX RAZOR EDGE

For each of the above, some will be glazed finish, others will be mirror polished, the mirror polished is rarer.
