Re: CASE XX M1051LSSP
This is what Case has to say about the subject. I take it from this that the 'M' stands for "Executive" (yeah, I know. Why didn't they use an 'E'? Maybe someone else will have a different answer because I'm not a Case guy.)
Found this at Case College -- http://www.wrcase.com/case_college/patt ... tterns.php
I did read the the LSSP stands for:
L - Lockback
SS- Stainless Steel springs and blade
P - Polished

Re: CASE XX M1051LSSP
The "M" actually stands for Metal. (in this case, lightweight aluminum alloy on this knife/year). A knife with that blade stamps should look like the pic below. It is a 79' CASE M1051LSSSP with CASE logo engraved on the handle. This knife is also nicknamed the trailpacker (due to weight I assume) or the Hornet.
I believe that knife is a P1051- 1/2 LSSP with an incorrect blade. Whether factory error or replacement. To my knowledge, that frame with smooth brown pakkawood was not used until 1980' I believe.
Actually, I have a CASE M1059LSSP that Jerry D referenced but the stamp is 059L over SSP only.

That man is a success who has lived well, laughed often and loved much; who leaves the world better than he found it; who never lacked appreciation of earth's beauty or failed to express it; who looked for the best in other's and gave the best he had.

Re: CASE XX M1051LSSP
I too had a M1051 LSSP but I gave it to David The Destroyer and that batch of knives disappeared and never got to him. For that knife only it's probably just as well because the lock bar was almost impossible to depress.
