Re: Matchng Pairs
Love the gnarly stag and the curved finger guards, Erwin, great looking pair of swing guard knives.

Queen City, ebony, mint. I think NON-stainless. They could be available.

Re: Matchng Pairs
Here are comparison pictures of a Case Tested XX 62027 1/2 and a Case XX 62027 1/2. The 27 is a small sleeveboard pattern that is 2 3/4 inches closed. So these are identical pattern, but from different eras. The Case Tested XX mark was used between 1920 and 1940 and the Case XX mark was used between 1940 and 1964. These knives are unused and unsharpened. These knives demonstrate the change in handle color between the Tested XX era and the XX era. It is interesting that the Tested XX knife is stamped with a pattern number, but the XX knife is not stamped with a pattern number. This is backwards to conventional Case pattern stamping. It is unusual for Tested XX knives to have pattern number and somewhat unusual for XX knives not to have a pattern number. The nail nicks are sized differently. Both shields look like a typical Case XX shield.
My opinion is that these knives were both made around 1940 and are both about the same age.

Re: Matchng Pairs
My opinion is you have great taste and impeccable acquisition skills. Great knives, wow what pretty bones you have. Rare relics and gems.

Jerry, I always appropriate the way you post clear pictures and the comparison style of education you offer. Nice knives

Re: Matchng Pairs
Those Churchills are nice Jerry! I always liked the Yellow Rose of Texas handles. The only one I have is a 73 pattern. Bought it EDC but its so dang purty I cant bring myself to use! ....yet. I think I bought about 5 years ago. Nice matching pair!

I had to go look, and, sure enough! I also had a yellow rose stockman which I gave to a cousin, a good man, but he passed away and that knife has disappeared. The trapper is available but the Ben Hogan will stay.

#47 Viper with the acorn shield. #74 Mustang with leaf shield. These things are the matching reverse in pattern #, blade shape, handle shape, about everything except bolsters, which happen to match. Opposites attract.

I just found out that the Northwoods Indian River Jack and the Schatt & Morgan Executive Jack are both built on the same Queen #99 frame...Wow, what a trip! That's good news to anyone who has wanted an IRJ but couldn't afford the astronomical asking prices because it means you can get basically the exact same knife but with a different shield for much less dough by purchasing an S&M Exec. Jack...and you can even get it with a wharncliffe blade, if you so choose.
