Need Assistance ID'ing Case XX Gent's Knife Circa 1920-1940

[survivor711]

I was given 4 Gent's knives and one is a CASE XX but I cannot find it in any of my books. Any Ideas what model it may be?

I can't tell you anything about it, but it's a lot like the Wards knife in my hands.

My Wards has cracked ice scales, a Pen main and a nail maintenance blade. Has a bail too.

Nice little knife eh?

Dave, May make sense then that someone may have put an old blade in a Ward's knife. I couldn't find this in the 6th Ed. Jim Sargent book. The Nail Maintenance blade is super tight and snaps like a Trapper. But the other Pen Blade is pretty weak. I do see a three Blade on Page 216 that looks similar. But all in all I think the four of them will look good in a frame! Seems like these little knives were pretty popular back in their day! Thanks for the response.
