Case Tested canoe 1920-1940??

[Dgood187]

So Im guessing this is a Tested Canoe By the light stamp and by the closed “C” shield. I wondering how much the light tang stamp and pitting hurts the value of this knife. Blades are full stag is ok .

It hurts the value a great deal. Since there are near mint examples out there collectors will pay top dollar for those but as condition decreases the value goes way down. I would say your knife would suffer a decline of 50 to 75 % off of top dollar.

If you are lucky. You say blades are full but the pictures tell me different. JMHO YMMv.

Dgood187, here are some of mine with what I would call "close to full" blades. FYI, and no offense intended, and I don't know where or when I was told this, but having both ends of the spring fully flexed or "stressed" as the knife is in your first two pictures is not a good idea, and increases the risk of a broken spring. But, I'm sure there are those who would disagree.
