Re: Winchester Xmas tree...??? Pattern Anyone ???
If it was a Winchester reproduction it should have the date stamped on it along with the pattern#.
The other guys are right as far as I can tell it is a fake.They did have a Xmes tree handle they used on the remakes but not on that pattern and they all had shields.
The pic is what the remakes are all stamped like."pattern#and date"
They also had hand hammered rivets and pinned shields.They are very high quality knives.

Re: Winchester Xmas tree...??? Pattern Anyone ???
Well the stamp looks right.Is there a Pattern# on the back side?
There where some made in the 1970s and 1980s that where not licensed by Winchester and they where of low quality and made in Germany.

Re: Winchester Xmas tree...??? Pattern Anyone ???
no pattern number anywhere, I was aware that it was a stockman pattern but failed to mention I was wondering if anyone knew what the number was. The oldies didn't always have a number on them did they?
