Bulldog Big Congress - no blade etch?

Post by Old Hunter »

I bought my first Bulldog yesterday from a pawn and gun - this one came in with several other knives, guns, and ammo in an estate buy for the shop. Everything looks genuine to me and the knife's "Walk & Talk" are excellent, very nice quality feel - but no blade etch? That has me confused about its heritage - can anyone enlighten me as to what I have here? Thanks!

That looks like a BKC #676 if it is 4-1/4" long with surgical steel blades . If so , they made 24 of them in 1993 and they sell for $65 - $85 on todays market .
