Another one bites the dust.
Another one bites the dust.
Ever since seeing the old ad for the Western 74x patterns I thought it'd be neat to collect the old bone handled 74x patterns. They technically went from 742 through 746, with the 741 differing from the rest in that it was a muskrat pattern.
Well it started innocently enough with me just about half way looking. Then a snuck up on two or three of them, then I got serious, now I'm all Captain Ahab, bless my heart.
This one just came in from the bay today. It's a 746, 4 inch stockman, with a California clip, large spey, and a punch. The bone is perfect, no wobble, and good snap. Now, if I can only find that 745 the circle will be unbroken!

Thank you gentlemen. I'm right honored to have it. I'll try to get the whole family out for a photo shoot in a few days.
