More on the Stag Bulldog First Generation Sowbellies

Post by Hukk »

I took some pictures and made some visual observations. The real first generation Tobacco Sowbllies have wonderful stag and different looking shields are obvious when side by side and have very different pulls on all the blades. Here are some pictures for you to look at and please comment on what you see. ::tu:: ::tu:: This is a more detailed observation of a previous post. The top knife is the knife in question in all pictures and has been called "knock-offs" by several members.
I am offering an opinion of my observations. You can see the other post with the celluloid Tobacco Kings and the celluloids also have much finer blade serations in the pull.

Please click on the pictures for details/observations and feel free to express your opinions and add anything I may have missed.

After seeing this it's my opinion that the knives in question are definitely not true first generations and were made sometime after that.

Hukk: This puts an entirely new light on my theory of using old blades at a later date. With the serration issue, I now believe these knives to be true forgeries. Seems to me that we have "NEW BLADES" with the new stag!!! Just my opinion.

Notice that some of the older ones have an extra pin.
