Most of the knives in my book that are shown with a sheath that has the 'Q' only and no
leaf design say 'Q or Big Q stamp' which was used from 1932-1955.
Figuring out the pattern is more difficult. Some are too wide and a few are too short, and
that leaves a couple of possibilities. Pattern #82, #84 and #95.
I see a slight bump in the 'spine' of the sheath, my guess is #82.
Your sheath is also missing the leather strap and button.

#82 -- 4 1/4"
#84 -- 4 1/4"
#95 -- 5"
A #94 is shown (only in a set in my book) @ 4"
All measurements listed are BLADE length.

Hope that helps....post the length from hilt/tang to tip of sheath and
I will look again if needed.

Ok I am looking for the spine. Is that were the top of the blade would be in the sheath?
