Anyone familar with the Maker of this knife??

Post by Paladin »

In a recent group purchase I got the knife pictured below. It is a well made knife and the tang is stamped RED HORSE CUTLERY, Bartlesville, OK. - USA on one side and on the pile side, it is stamped TERRY COCHRAN, Bartlesville, OK - USA.
Anybody seen other knives like it? This particular knife commemorates Heck Thomas, a noteable frontier lawman. There was a same, or similar, knife that commemorated Bill Tihlmann, who was his cohort in hunting down bad guys in the Indian Territory back in the day.
I feel sure this knife was made by Camillus but if anyone knows for sure, please let me know.
Any clue as to age? I realize it is not what I would call vintage but still would like to know the age.
Value? I searched and found nothing that would indicate the amount of recent sales.
As always, help is appreciated.

That looks almost identical to the Grandaddy Barlow(Model CM-2)that was issued by A.G.Russell for the Knife Collectors Club in 1973 right down to the knife shield.And yes it was made by Camillus.

You are correct, JR! In my searching around I found the exact same knife with the Camillus stamp.
