I was able to get this swing guard from Charles' collection. Forum members were most helpful in telling me that it was a somewhat rare pattern. This one has been used but there's a very light, small etch under the nail nick and a pattern number on the tang. John Ferguson took this photo for Charles.

Thanks David, Lloyd, Mike, James and Roger. It certainly helps to be able to ask questions about old knives with some of the knowledgeable people here on the forum. I think it was a mad scramble the first few days when Erik started selling his dad's knives.

Mason sent me this catalog cut of that pattern. Big knife, small etch.

I have been looking for a Wallkill River Works box for quite some time , I received it today. Wallkill River Works was a house brand of New York Knife Co. , dates from 1928-1931.
