[Dan In MI]

North Star Blade Collector's meeting finds; Wards Master Quality fixed blade, L.Ericksson, Mora fixed ($3 funk shop on the way home), Thomaston sailors all metal(circa 1884 to 1930), Ulster whittler, Severin Droescher German made "Picknick" set (circa 1892 to 1924) that folds and slides together.____Dave

Knice haul bud!!

Found this Whitetail Cutlery at a Pawn Shop.....I love orange smooth bone

[Ripster]

Picked up a couple while at the North Star knife club meeting . A Challenge Cut co. ,nice and tight, steel liners and pins ,and good solid handles .
And a Ulster WW1 Era Radio knife. The US Signal Corp shield and smaller size got my attention . Upon looking at it,realized what it was and we struck a deal . It’s smaller than most TL Knives and the Screwdriver blade is unlocked by pushing down on the Main while closed . From what I’ve gathered this knife was not a lineman’s tool ,was issued only to Comms specialists in the Corps . If any other info is out there about this knife ,please let me know.
Take care out there.

Good work David, nice pile. This is my finds at the Duluth gun show today. The knives aren't much but they were cheap. A Schrade Walden jack and a German double end cigar jack marked with a HF or FH. I'm more pleased with the Stevens A&T co. model 35 single shot 22 (the outside is pitted, but the barrel inside looks perfect, and it shoots well) and the belt buckle.____Dave

Great finds for today, Dave!
I especially like the Stevens #35. Had to look it up and it has quite a history. Is there any way to tell when yours was made?

Very good haul Dave. I like that pistol, but back in the day who would have carried a single shot 22?

[doglegg]

Dave the knives are nothing to sneeze at but that old parlor pistol is sweet!!! Congrats.

[Dan In MI]

I like both of them, as well as the pistol and belt buckle!

My plans to visit a nearby antique store/flea market this weekend will likely have to be postponed, due to flooding.

It's got a 80188 serial number. I'm hoping that I can find a manufacture date with that.____Dave

Some nice finds Dave is that Schrade a 293 or 294? Also on the J. Stevens Model 35, just going by the photo, yours may be pre 1933. From 1933 to 1942 the year they ceased production, the 35 had a stamped trigger guard, a very thin stamped trigger, and a smaller button for the barrel release. Pre 1933 they had a cast trigger guard, a thicker cast trigger that was machined or polished smooth, and a larger button for the barrel release. Your rear sight may have been replaced with a later one. A lot of the early pre-1933 models had a screw to adjust the sight height, later it had a slide. It should be a steel barrel and the lower frame is made of cast iron. If I remember correctly there are no serial number to year/production records on this model now. Seems they were lost years ago.The model 35 actually had around a 70 year production run being first produced in the 1870's.

Thanks for the info Smitty. The Schrade is a 294. I didn't know anything about the gun except that I liked it and it is a definite plus that it shoots well and with the heavy barrel, I actually dare use the gun. I have a few old guns that I'm pretty sure shooting them would be much more exciting and expensive than target practicing.____Dave

Nice finds Dave. Did your Grand daughter go with and get any goodies ? Was the show a full house?

[djknife13]

Brittney bought a pistol shaped belt buckle and her boyfriend bought a little antique S&W 22 short revolver. There was a good crowd but not anywhere near the crowded conditions the last show was. Prices for guns, except the older ones we got, and ammunition are the only things that are still out of wack. I paid $325 for the Stevens which I thought was more than fair.____Dave

Your welcome Dave. As long as the barrel and fit to frame is good, it should be safe to fire standard .22 ammo. A lot of people may not know, but J. Stevens Co. was the company that designed and first had the .22 rimfire cartridge produced. The 35 is a pretty accurate handgun.
