KA BAR STORE DISPLAY

[cattaraugus57]

Howdy fellas,Wanted to share this Ka bar Store display I bought recently.
Have to replace the Knife display board and glass but it's not in bad shape fro the age.
I have the small piece for the bottom,I removed it to make it easier to install the board & glass.

Question: does anyone know what color the display board may have been?
2.does anyone have any photos of old ka bar display boxes?


thanks!

If you look for old Kabar catalogs you just might find a picture of the display in the catalog as they were often sold to dealers with the knives included.

I just bought an old 1959 Camillus catalog that shows what my old display looked like originally.
I posted it in the Camillus forum: http://www.allaboutpocketknives.com/kni ... 63&t=49452

I checked, but I don't have any Kabar catalogs. Maybe another member has some old Kabar catalogs and will post pics of a similar display.
Hopefully you can find an old Kabar catalog that will help you determine what the display looked like.

Best of luck finding a picture!

Thanks Dale,that's what I'm hoping for....an old Catalog photo would provide some great clues.
Nice You found that old of a Camillus Cat!..excellant..
Maybe I should re post this into the questions section?...may reach more people.?

I'm going to make a Knife Board for it now and can always paint or re paint it later.
Going to attempt to find some decent looking older Kabars to put in it...prob put me in the Poor house though!
