Buck "General" 120

[NineMilePete]

Greetings:
I'm a bit of a novice.
I was perusing EBAY and looked over a Buck knife that the seller described as made in El Cajon, California
I picked up my Buck 120 second handed back around 1978. It does had the small stamping on the blade.
I don't really know the significance of an El Cajon, California made Buck knife. Could mine possisbly fit into that catagory?
Many thanks

I heard something on KnivesLive tv last night related to this, if I remember correctly, Buck moved production there from Idaho for a few years and then back to Idaho. I'm sure someone here has more (and possibly better) information on this.

Also, they had a new Boone & Crockett 120 for $79.99 that had a handle etch. Not sure if they have any left for that price, if anyone's interested it might be worth checking out.

I believe in 1968 Buck moved to El Cajon Cal. until the late 70's

Any significant or special about "burgandy" colored handle spacers?

There are still some new Boone & Crockett Generals left;
