Ever since seeing the old ad for the Western 74x patterns I thought it'd be neat to collect the old bone handled 74x patterns. They technically went from 742 through 746, with the 741 differing from the rest in that it was a muskrat pattern.
Well it started innocently enough with me just about half way looking. Then a snuck up on two or three of them, then I got serious, now I'm all Captain Ahab, bless my heart.
This one just came in from the bay today. It's a 746, 4 inch stockman, with a California clip, large spey, and a punch. The bone is perfect, no wobble, and good snap. Now, if I can only find that 745 the circle will be unbroken!
Another one bites the dust.

Thank you gentlemen. I'm right honored to have it. I'll try to get the whole family out for a photo shoot in a few days.
