Terrible Fake

Tang shaved. Modern knife.

Jim Sargent s books are very good references. Jim has told me for several years now that he is not writing another book. I am just glad that he can still go to the shows with the rest if us. We enjoy having him there. Tom[/quote] I agree with you Tom and thanks for your observation regarding Jim Sar...

As others have correctly said. Regular Frame.

A very obvious fake.

Great line up Zach. The rough black period has always been rather fascinating to me. I have always felt that there was a close correlation between rough black handled knives and the changing of tang stamps from tested xx to xx, though as far as I have seen no one knows exactly when that occurred.

I'm seeing a Case Bros stamp. Fake in any event!

Similar to my 75 knife rotation of toters besides another 200 or so of golden oldies that are retired in climate controlled environment. Thanks for showing.

My opinion is that the knife has been crudely re-pinned (the blade), but is correct otherwise.

Do my eyes deceive me or did they have $1200.00 on that POS?? You gotta be kidding!

Does this Case & Sons stamp look right to you guys?

I'm looking at the stamp on my phone. Usually I prefer to look at it on my lap top. No need for that here. Fake!!

It was very nice seeing and talking to all the AAPKers there and I had a real good time meeting Phil and Monte for the first time. My goodness in that last picture I think Phil caught me napping. A little less Evan Williams the nite before next time

I agree with you about that beautiful trapper. I'm sure everyone would love to take a gander at your true red bones.

Ah the age old question. To further confuse matters I can tell you from experience that Case produced this handle material with both a "5" and a "6" handle code. Most of the time this color (front handle) will have a "5". Regardless of the number, Old timers refer to i...

Thanks and your welcome. The 048 was a bear head during the tested years. The OP knife is an imposter as has already been said.

MrB that's a nice one! You don't by any chance have a tested 048 do You?

I have a tested 048. Will try to put up a pic soon.

I agree knife is bogus.

I have a 6223 handled in a pretty green bone, with the Case's Bradford stamping. The OP knife is a train wreck though.
