ADDITIONAL INFO:      I checked Harvey Platts book, The Knife Makers Who Went West for information on this knife. I found it on page 153 in the 1950 catalog reprint where it list three numbers for this pattern depending on the handle material used. It is shown on the page with bone stag handles under the number 06244C. The number OY244C is the number for the yellow composition handles which this knife has. The third handle material listed is pearl composition handles with the number 02244C.
