Can this knife be matched to a case frame and model # ?

The W.R. Case & Sons Cutlery Company has a very rich history that began in 1889 when William Russell (“W.R.”), Jean, John, and Andrew Case began fashioning their knives and selling them along a wagon trail in upstate New York. The company has produced countless treasures and it continues to do so as one of the most collected brands in the world.

It would be helpful to know what its closed length is, but Case didn’t make many knives with grooved bolsters.

Thanks Steve and mubleypeg ..knife is 3 5/8 long . The shied and tang stamp are marked clauss . Case used very little. Of the winter bottom bone . I had my doubts it would have been used on a contract knife .still yet I I wanted to eliminate the knife by its frame build. . I have 5 clauss knifes with shields .I will post the group Of them Together .from top to bottom .knife 1. Has clauss shield but blade is marked case xx . The mark worn but can be made out with jewelers loop . Knife 2 I believe I have matched to case pattern..knife 3 the O.P . My thoughts were Shatt and Morgan ?( Possibly )Queen City ) ? .knife 4. Knife. 5 until I can match them by frame build and scale material remain unknown . foot note : all the shields look identical to one another to me .
