Designed by Blackie Collins..A colleague here on AAPK explained that the serial number is on the inside of the frame and yes, there it was. S&W contracted with both Bowen and Alcas to make it. 60.000 were produced in the early 70's. What a beaut of a knife. He went on to say that the handles were replaced..If so, better than the Wessonwood originals IMHO. Blade locks on top. A heavy knife like a '110', Tapered front nickel bolster, brass liners with that piece of black fiber that some makers used to keep the blade tip from hitting metal when closed. Top lock is very tight. 1" blade, drop point 1/8" stock. Tang stamped 'made in USA'. Basket weave sheath has the S&W logo with 109W. The previous owner put ''AB' lightly on the back of the sheath and midway down the back spring. Magnification needed to see it. Smoke free garage, oyur check is fine with me or a money order and payal if you prefer. Return if not delighted.
