I just picked this one up, I don't recognize this stamp.
I did search all the forums and no info available for this style.
The sheath looks original to the knife.
Any help would be appreciated.

Re: Help ID fixed blade Case?
I believe it was originally a 309 (hollow leather washer handle) or 709 (hollow metal handle) hunting knife that has been re-handled. The original handle most likely broke and the knife has been re-handled to keep it serviceable. I think these model knives were discontinued shortly after 1940. The sheath is not original and looks custom made.
If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.

Re: Help ID fixed blade Case?
I suspected that this was a re-handled knife, profile is pretty worn and letters are lightly stamped or worn.
What I didn't know was if this style letter font was actually used by Case.
I searched but I didn't find anything on-line and I don't have the reference books for a detailed search.
Overall it is a nice little knife and sheath combination, very primitive looking.
Thanks for your help.
