If I were looking for a Tested Christmas Tree Clasp; believe I would pass on this one. ::td:: JMO I don't think it is what it appears to be; ::paranoid:: and the seller covers himself with eBay; in his description. ::sneaky:: He also has a Tested 54 pattern; that shows up from time to time on eBay. Same song and dance with his description. ::td::

Just by looking at the knife and reading the listing, i think the seller is selling exactly what he thinks it might be. A old tested clasp knife that been cleaned and possibly rehandled. ::tu::

As far as the reproducted tested trapper, well they pop up all the time. ::td::

Definitely rehandled, authentic Case clasp in relatively poor condition that has been roughly cleaned.

No pins on the scales. Dead give-away on a Case celluloid rehandle job.
