G'day to all,

I was just having A look around Ebay and found this case 6332 That I thought I might have a bid on, anyway the description
say's it is crack free But I'm sure I can see a crack upbove the sheild.
Can anyone give their opinon before I have a bid.

That not a crack it's a fracture ( the breaking of a bone )

Is that a genuine CASE / XX tang stamp?

There I go, crawling out of my Robeson hole again.

Your input is always valued Charlie. I personally don't like the look of the stamp either. Hard to tell as even enlarge pic is fuzzy. Don't like the shape of the letters and the "S" in particular. I have quite a few XX knives and somtimes the "C" varies but the "S" looks like a "5" to me. Could be wrong, may be my eyes, the pic or both.

Here is a XX 6332 I posted on the Stockman thread. You be the judge. Again could be off base but when in doubt...
