Jerry per my PM you know that I am a collector of these knives and should probably take my suggestion.
The one interesting thing that I like about this one is the dog head is rotated from normal. Anyone have input on this?

I believe the knife is early 1920s, before mid 1923. The earlier versions had a tang stamp of North America with the word UNION inside it. I have seen quite a few of these with the "sideways" dog head and always on Union Cut Co marked knives, never on the KA-BAR marked ones. It is a cool knife although with a lot of blade wear, some pitting, possibly cleaned up a bit, and it appears to me that the choil has been re-cut in a little more than the original factory one.
