8 0r 10 Dot Congress?

Post by bonehead »

Something just doesn't look right here. One pic shows 8 Dots and another with 10 Dots? The 10 Dot pic looks scarry, besides I never knew they stamped the Dots on two sides.http://cgi.ebay.com/Vintage-CASE-XX-Con ... 23087466ec

There are transition knives made in the 88 pattern, even in the 70 dot series. I don't know
what happened with this knife, but it ain't right. IMO

Yeah I puzzled over that one too. Someone apparently tried to make an 8 dot into an 8-10 dot transition. Ruined the knife in the process.
