Don't know about the tang stamp but isn't that a glue in shield from a Case Classic knife? Pretty sure the handles aren't original to the knife and the knife isn't worth the asking price?

Do my eyes deceive me or is that 2 different styles of can opener on there?

Looks authentic to me but worked on. The profile of the caplifter and punch has been altered. I believe the punch should have a groove in the side with the pull which was ground out. The nail pull for the can opener does not look original and was added. I don't see anything wrong with the shield or handles. Certainly not worth anywhere near the asking price IMO.

Greg,I believe it is a reshaped screwdriver blade.It may be junior scout size.I had a Standard Knife and a Romo Junior scout with that flat nickel silver bail.

This is what the one I have looks like it is missing the ball

It is a standard size 6445 utility or Scout pattern knife. 3 5/8" closed. The blade configuration, handles and bail are all correct for the knife.

Isn't the shield in the op a glue in? I blew up the picture 200 x and still don't see any indication of pins. If you have picked this up with your naked eye I am very envious.

On many knives I am unable to see evidence of pins on the surface of the shield, but can see the pins in the inside of the liner. I didn't look at all the pictures of this knife to see if there is an inside view.

To me it looks like there are pins. One in each end of the shield. There is a slightly darker circular discoloration at each end.

Here is the same knife but different shield .
Screw driver blade has definitely been reprofiled .

Clearly, I'm a man with too much time on hands

Wayne I see the discoloration. I cropped, enlarged, darkened, increased the contrast, and otherwise highlighted the discoloration that seems to evidence the existence of shield pins.

I for one, am always happy that you have the time to help in editing so many pictures here on AAPK. Thanks!

I also appreciate your pictures Ralph. I can certainly see the pins after you edited it. Thank you

Looks like the ww1 era Rogers bone I found on all my razor jacks, pins look peened as well

But something still odd

Always amazes me these sellers want you to pay $1000 for the knife and expect you to pay for shipping!
