All About Pocket Knives

Compared it to 2 similar stockman
And is not in same location

This stockman has a uniqueness
The shield side front brad is out of position has been installed in wrong location
Clear evidence of a mis strike or mistake .
The knives of this era are handmade , I have a gentleman wager with a buddie that it is a error not just the way it is made

I have a fairly nice 087pe three blade that has a Sheild side bolster this is in the wrong location on the stockman .
Any input would be greatly appreciated .
