What say ye?

I've had this xx folding hunter for some time now and have always wondered if this would be considered red stag? The pile side scales are a knarly bark stag and completely different from the shield side. In Steve Pfeiffer's book, there is a knife very similar to mine labeled as red stag, but I'm wondering, does the mismatched stag negate it from being true "red stag"? What say ye?

Yes Elvis, It's a 5265 sab. I have showed this knife to a couple of collectors who I respect, both were a bit put off by the bark stag on the reverse, stating that they would not consider it to be a "true" red stag knife. Most red stags that I see in books are burnt stags with a reddish tint. It really makes me wonder what process was used to create this type of scale? I'm open to any and all opinions. Thanks, Tim
