Mr. B - I like it. Looks very much like my S&M English Jack (Premier Series). Same blades, same frame. The only difference is the S&M has threaded bolsters.

Re: HOW BOUT THIS OLE - - - -
It is an unknown pattern. That shield is the "Tested block letter" shield. Its different from the closed C shield and different from the later XX and USA era shields. A rarely seen shield but correct.
I have the exact same knife, with the exact same shield, but the main blade is broken off.
It does not match any documented Case pattern that I know of. Too skinny to be a 14 pattern. Too short to be a 19 pattern.
