DOUBLE SHIELD CASE
DOUBLE SHIELD CASE
A friend of mine stumbled on this Case tested era knife. He has told me that it has the circle C tang stamp on all three blades, no pattern number, and as you can see a shield on both handle scales. I am not sure but i believe it to be a 94 pattern. I would like to hear any thoughts as to the two shields on this piece. Sorry these are the only 2 photos I have. He walked away from it.

Re: DOUBLE SHIELD CASE
JMAM, I`ve seen and owned old Case knives with a shield on both sides.That in itself doesn`t make it a bad knife.Case did it on rare occasions for some reason but I don`t really know why. Maybe someone else can give you some better information about it. Bill [by the way,Nice looking knife]

Re: DOUBLE SHIELD CASE
jmam, I know you don't have the knife and probably can't get more pictures, but I would like to see the blades open. If it is a 94 then the closed length should be 4 1/4 inches. The nail nick in the top picture seems to be in an unusual location for a 94 blade. The grooves in the bolsters look too wide to me. Also I recall only seeing grooves on the flat bolstered 94 patterns. So in my experience the knife has other characteristics in addition to the double shields that make it unusual.
Re: DOUBLE SHIELD CASE
Knife does not look right to me. I do not think it is a legitimate old Case knife. I'd walk away fast.
If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.

Re: DOUBLE SHIELD CASE
I don't believe Case made that knife. It is possible that it might be a contract knife but not having it in hand I would be like Wayne and walk away.
As Bill indicated, the two shields doesn't mean anything. I , like Bill, have had authentic vintage Case knives with two shields. I have been told by experts that they were mistakes made in the factory.

Re: DOUBLE SHIELD CASE
Are my eyes deceiving me (quite possible) or does that master blade have a nail nick on both sides?

Re: DOUBLE SHIELD CASE
Sorry for the delay in responding. Thanks to all who replied. I wish I had more answers to the questionable characteristics that have been pointed out. My friend and I live some distance apart. I am trying to get my hands on it for a closer look see. If I should acquire it I will definitely post detailed pics. Thanks again to all.
