Probably made by Ontario. The six inch blades are before 62. Show us a pic when you get a chance. Did you get a matching sheath if so it may have a date on the back.

Re: U.S & German World War I & II Military Knives
I've been on the hunt for one of these Western Seebee's ever since Dimitri posted his...and they ain't easy to find. This is a pretty honest knife,
still has some blue on it, has a nice stamp and nobody's put it on the grinder...I think the sheath is original but I'm not real sure.
This is well built knife...the blue looks to be of firearm's quality, I'll bet it was a looker when it was new...

Re: U.S & German World War I & II Military Knives
The sheath looks correct (double stitched, brake rivets, strap placement). I've seen a very similar one with a single line of stitching with a couple of SeeBees but I'm pretty sure it was intended for another company's Mark 1.WelderBob wrote:...I think the sheath is original but I'm not real sure.

Quality should not be an accident. So what is the explanation for some of the knives we've seen in the past few years? (from A Knifebuyer's Manifesto)
Re: U.S & German World War I & II Military Knives
Thank you Jim, I'm glad to hear it's the right one...I know sheath's can be harder to find then the knives...

Nice fighters...they both look like you'd know you had something solid in your hand, just have that look.
The beatings will continue until morale has improved...

Re: U.S & German World War I & II Military Knives
You are so right. When I pick them up the thought that goes in my head is Now this is a KNIFE. I wll post pics of the 2 smaller ones later. I also bought what I think is a Rare Baxter fighting knife and as soon as I get it in the mail I will post a picture of it.

Re: U.S & German World War I & II Military Knives
OK, here are the mini's. The leather handled one is 6 5/8" not counting the loop. The ivory handled one is 6 1/4". The leather one is marked like the 2 large fights and the ivory is not.
The ivory handled knife I bought from a man whose Dad was a doctor in Neb. that treated Richtig before he died and the family gave the doctor the knife. He had used it as a letter opener for years till he passed and his son sold it to me. The wife of the doctor used an aluminum handled one in her garden to plant flowers and bulbs!!! It has been looked at by Harlan S. and he said that it was made by Richtig and that he has seen many little ones like this one.

Re: U.S & German World War I & II Military Knives
Dimitri if you like the feel of the large fighters you need to handle a leather handled Mini they are just great!!! He was a master at making knives.
Have you ever held a Baxter from Boston?? Like I said earlier in the post, I have one coming in the mail that I need info on??

Re: U.S & German World War I & II Military Knives
Here is another one I picked up. It is definatly a Baxter knife, see the knife with a copy of Silvey's book, but it is marked J & D Miller NY. On the top side of the handle is stamped Erwin K.Simon 12157342. Not sure what that refers to. Service number maybe?? I tried looking the name up on the internet with no luck.

Re: U.S & German World War I & II Military Knives
I believe you're correct about that being a service number. Here's a list of WWII Army enlistees from Kings County, NY and though your Erwin K.Simon is not among them, his service number fits right in for number of digits and approximate sequence of digits. If you get interested enough, you can get all releasable information on him through the Freedom of Information Act by sending a query to the records center in St. Louis, MO. Let me know if you want to do that and I'll help you get the necessary paperwork started.galvanic1882 wrote:Here is another one I picked up.
