As is, exact knife pictured. This Western Boulder Colo. L-46-5 has no model number on the bolster or blade as was their practice in the early years. It has Made in USA over patented with NO patent number making it made between 1950-1955. It is in very good condition for a 70+ year old knife with about 90% blade remaining and no looseness, wobble of the bolster and only minor age spotting on the carbon steel blade. The stacked leather handle is in great shape with only minor signs of use. Aluminum pommel is also in great shape with no serious dings. The original leather sheath is in okay shape with some age hardening, no tears but is missing some leather at the end of the keeper strap (pictured). All in all, a great old knife in collectible or usable condition. Nicknamed the "Baby Shark" because of the shorter blade than the Shark, it was a hunter's favorite at the time and because they were so loved and used hard, you don't come across them in this condition often. I will offer it here at a reasonable price before it goes on "the bay" for more. You know what they say- "the time to buy it is when you see it"

PLEASE Read, I sell with various venues and the items listed may be sold elsewhere. If an item does sell elsewhere, I end the listing. I strive to accurately describe my items for sale through both words and pictures. In this regard I am rather conservative. I also buy items and hate being disappointed because a seller was not very accurate or worse, downright deceptive. We've all seen them. Fuzzy pictures. Vague or non existent word descriptions. I do not do that. If I say an item is new, it's just as it came from the manufacturer or retailer. I may describe an item as new (other) which means it has been around a while, may or may not have original packaging but has never been used. If the item is used, I say so along with my (conservative) opinion as to how used (excellent, barely used, good, fair and average for age of item), as well as any defects that I can see. I am not perfect so if an item is, in your opinion, described or pictured poorly, please, ask me about it.  If, upon receipt of any item you feel it's not what was advertised, just return it for a full refund, including original shipping cost. Just pay return shipping and return it exactly as you received it and ship it the same way I sent it to you. Shipping will be priced at what I state in the auction, NO EXCEPTIONS. If you win multiple items (more than 2 in the same day and pay promptly), I can discount your shipping as long as I can consolidate the items into one package.  I will not gouge you on shipping but shipping prices have gone up considerably. Please be understanding of both my time, labor and cost of packing materials. If you win multiple auctions on the same day, PLEASE wait for an invoice for an accurate total with combined shipping.Speaking of paying promptly, when I sell I expect to be paid or notified of your intention to pay and when. Some auction sites start a non-paying-bidder claim within 24 or 48 hours, automatically. When I buy, I either pay immediately through Paypal or other electronic means or, if that option is not viable, I'll notify the seller immediately when to expect payment. It's just common courtesy folks. I strive to maintain a stellar feedback rating and have done so by being honest and giving great, prompt service. When it comes to feedback, I work like this- When selling, I give positive or A+ upon payment received and would appreciate positive or A+ from you when you receive your item. When I buy something, I expect the same from the seller. Once I pay, I expect positive or A+ feedback and you will receive the same when I receive the item. As always, thank you for your purchase! I appreciate it!
