Picked up 3 nice Queen steel frame Barlows over the last couple weeks, all in mint condition, the one arm blade Barlow is hard to find in steel and if I'm reading the tang stamp right dates from the 50's.

Re: The Venerable Old Barlow
Nice.
I've never really understood the hump on the bolsters of Queen's regular Barlows.
Does it have something to do with pin placement?

I've wondered about that too, maybe they just wanted to be different, I will say that it something kind of nice to coonfinger or or be a worry object in the pocket.RobesonsRme.com wrote:Nice.

Re: The Venerable Old Barlow
Charlie, BigHomer, thank you, the bolster also hides the tang pretty well making for a smooth carry.
Picked up these 2 Case red bones last week,in my opinion some of the best barlow's ever made.

Re: The Venerable Old Barlow
Ahhh. So, instead of making the blade flush with the frame, they raised the bolster to make the frame flush with the blade.
