Newly acquired

Man,I'm really liking these Old Winchesters!!....The 2 blade Congress I don't have yet,it was shipped this morning.

The Gunstock is a 1979 Taylor Cutlery Bear Creek,Kingsport Tenn..I'm thinking about doing a rehandle on it..maybe some stag.

Those are beauties, johnnie!

I especially like that one second from the bottom...what's that pattern called? Would it be a stiletto?

Those are great looking Johnnie, those bone handled Winchesters are fantastic!!!

I especially like the 2 bladed congress with dimpled bolsters..

Thanks,Marcinek.

My guess would be a fish tailed stiletto!!

I'm not really sure but its a favorite of mine also.

Thank you,Sunburst!!

Ya'll are right, Winchester calls them fishtail or bowtie.
Those are beautiful knives guy.
Heres a couple of my favs i've got recently.
The Winchester Genuine Bone Toothpick pattern, 4 1/8" closed, with the RARE arc pattern stamping. There were only 600 produced with this arc pattern stamping.
This knife is pattern stamped with 1924 (in the arc font) '87 (the year of manufacture-1987) on the rear tang of the blade.
The scales are actually antique age Genuine Bone that Charlie Dorton acquired from the Utica Knife Factory.
The other is a Stag Split Backspring Whittler.

Thanks John, the whittler was made in 1997.

Here is my one and only Winchester.
She is small only 3 " closed but, she is soothing to my eyes.

tank · Post by **tank** » Sat Jul 07, 2007 2:51 am

John I don't know of a good price guide, sorry. I called Buzz Parker on my toothpick, he told me it booked $350... don't know which book. I did see another for sale for $225 so I guess $350 book might be accurate.

Wow, I never realized they were that high, I'll have to look closer when I see them now.

johnnierotten · Post by **johnnierotten** » Sat Jul 07, 2007 4:21 pm

Hey,Ken thats a nice Gunstock!!

Thanks,Tank.I guess I'll keep surfing the web and see if I can come up with one.Hopefully something that will give me an idea of value!!

johnnierotten · Post by **johnnierotten** » Sun Jul 08, 2007 5:39 pm

Hey,guys.I just got it in today!!Nice and Minty!!

Now would this main blade be considered a hawbaker blade?

upnorth · Post by **upnorth** » Sun Jul 08, 2007 6:24 pm

That's a Wharcliffe blade IMO, johnnierotten. A Hawbaker is a long sheepfoot, and is usually referred to being a Hawbaker only when it is in a Muskrat.

Thanks for the info,Upnorth!
