Imperial tang stamp year

[0078]

What year is this tang stamp? I can't find nothing defnate on the imperial tang sheet.

That knife is in the 1973 Imperial flyer at schrades-r-us.
The "Super Razor Blade Stainless" blade etch first showed up in 1953.

I got 1 or 2 of those, not in the package though. I always liked the etch on those, it's a shame, cause even though I have a lot of the shell handle Imperials in my collection, I am a little biased against them because of the somewhat cheap construction.

Thanks for the help, something about blade etch I really like.
