Re: What can y’all tell me about this one?
Nothing other than it's a fine old knife and according to the tang stamp chart, was probably made sometime 1950-1961.
We have a fella on AAPK who is quite knowledgeable about Westerns. You might be better served posting your knife in the Western Cutlery Collector's Forum at viewforum.php?f=81 Some folks don't stray too far from their chosen brand so he might not see it here.

I'm not the guy that Jerry is talking about, but I can tell you that Westerns are very good quality, made in the USA knives. The story of the Platts & Case families in early American cutlery is fascinating: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_Knife_Company
