That looks like a 5th Version Variation 3 from about 1972-1974.

Very nice knife! Looks just like the knife my father just gave me. Near as I can figure, it’s a 72-74. Needs some cleaning and polishing,but I think it’s gonna be nice. I have before pics and I will post them with the afters, when I am done. I’m really looking forward to this.

::hmm:: Somewhere there's a description of the placement of rivets and number of rivets for each year up to the starting of the symbols. I have a '74, no year marking symbol, with the original sheath. Maybe somebody on here can tell you what year if you provide a pic. ftd
