Queen Peanut?

I bought this knife yesterday thinking that it is a Queen Peanut - 1961-1971, based on the Winterbottom? scales and the lack of tang stamp. What do you all think? Sorry for the crappy pic, it's the sellers.

Murph,
I would have made the same assumption.

Watch us both be wrong!

A little searching through the AAPK stores shows the nail nick in a different position on the marked Queen peanuts. Is this a factor? If it were a '61-'71 Queen would the scales be bone or delrin?

Tom, I agree with you and Ray. I would have thought it was a Queen also. In that pattern I would guess bone. Just a guess though.

If it is a Queen, ya think $12.25 was a good price?

i believe its a queen #14 pattern in delrin winterbottom and you may find when you get it in your hand that there is a very very faint hard to see etch on main blade seen a lot like that

Murf, some info in the articles & research
section about Queen WB bone or delrin timeline.

Looks like a good bargain to me but my glasses
need cleaning.

Hey, thanks Wosey. According the the article, the handles are probably Delrin.

Troy, I believe you hit it right on the head with #14 in Delrin. I'll take a good close look when I get it. Since the knife does not appear to have been sharpened very much, I would think that there shoud be a trace of the etch. Thanks fellers.

Got the peanut yesterday and Troy was correct. There is a faint etch on the blade Queen Steel #14 and no tang stamp. Thanks for your input folks. Been used and sharpened, badly I might add, lots of scratches on blades. Knife is solid though with good snap open, half and close. Needed a drink of oil bad.
