Nice one Scott, the few Garlands I've acquired have been quality knives. Here is a Garland barlow, an early knife also.

I have posted these two before but not in this thread. First a Camillus model 12 Jack knife.

Then this model 17, only listed in the first catalog after the war. I guess they were using up some old spear points blades. Thanks for looking.
