Found this IMPERIAL, Prov., R.I., USA, boy's hunter in darn near perfect condition this morning in New Church, VA. Don't know when they stopped making them. I know they were around in the 50's and 60's. I've had a few. Any collector of such things can get it from me. I only grabbed it because it's as near mint as it can be.(Any marks you see on the blade are only reflections, not blemishes.) Saber ground mark side, shell handle, and a little plastic sheath that probably kept it from staining. Not my area of collecting. Anybody interested PM me. :D J.O'.

That's a nice one! They don't show up in that condition very often.

Man alive John, she's in stunning condition!

There are a few out there, perfect survivors; but few and far between.

Is the MTech also a knuckle duster. It looks like it has four finger holes,
