TRADED ///schrade mustang

[gringo]

i have a schrade walden, OLD TIMER, Mustang for trade. 1250T.
this knife has a nice patina from many years of cigar box storage.
light sharpenin, scratches on tip area, scale shrinkage, blade is almost black..spotted above the line of the case...blade that is protected by case is also stained...not as heavy.

i have not found this tang stamp in the research section...hey orvet????
tang stamp is:
first line, schrade-walden
second line, N.Y. U.S.A.
last line, 1250T

no photos, sorry...

gee too bad about no photo...perhaps someone has a digital camera for trade....

this is a nice knife...mid 60ish i think,could be wrong.

this thing can take off your hand when it snaps shut...geeze...a huge piece of steel.

Gringo,
From what you describe, does the tang stamp looks like this one on this 163?

I had thought that the hyphenated stamps; SCHRADE-WALDEN, were earlier stamps. However the Mustang, 125OT was not introduced until 1971. So your knife was made between 1971-1973. The Schrade Walden name was dropped in 1973.

thanks orvet...yes, the tang stamp is identical to the one you posted.
