Thank you, Kerry.
I hope you got out of there before they could arrest you for theft, Dave! Cause that's a real steal of a deal! Fantastic old knife!

This XX era Texas Jack 06247 came floating down the -Bay for $60. I've been looking for one at a reasonable price for a few months now, maybe longer.![]()
Anyho, I think it cleaned up nicely and will fit in well with my other -47s. Had some rust to remove and bolster stains/oxidation. Attaching some of the listing shots and my cleaned up EDC, I like the end result patina.
