Re: Let's see your Clasp 72's!!
HAKD, beautiful examples and nice variety in your group of Tested Clasp knives. I am curious to know if the green bone example is marked with "XX 6172" or maybe even "XX 6272" on the back of the blade tang? The examples I have seen with the big jigs often have a pattern number stamp. It is my (unverified) opinion that the large jigging style indicates an earlier knife (closer to 1920 than 1940).

I thought the older versions had one pin rather than two pins on the scales??

Re: Let's see your Clasp 72's!!
That's true HAKD the ones with fewer pins are earlier but the ones that also have the XX and pattern stamp are thought to be from the very beginning of the tested era.

Jethro, beautiful pair of Bulldogs. Those 1960's stag bulldogs are some of the prettiest knives Case has produced (IMO).
