Case help

Post by 0078 »

This knife has been in my family for many years, there are no numbers on the tang or have been removed. I'm thinking maybe model 6235 1/2?

I think that is as close a guess as I would be able to make; 3-1/4", swell end w/ bolster, clip main, pen secondary. OH

I believe that not having a model number stamp would put your knife as being made from 1945 (or so) to around the late 50's. Nice family heirloom!

According to the length (3-1/4") , I would say that it is a 6235-1/2 , but since it appears to have a "tested" shield , I would "guesstimate" that it was made in the early 1940's .
