Is THIS a #72?
Hello everyone....
I just bought this one (it's on the way). While looking at the pics I don't see a number on the blade tangs. I flipped thru a few pages of the #72 thread but I don't see a #72 that has a shield like the I am missing on this knife.
So, a couple of things here..... Is this a #72?
Has anyone got a shield they can sell me to replace the one i am missing?
Thanks y'all...
Mike

Re: Is THIS a #72?
Yes Mike you have a 72. I am including a couple pictures of the shield you should have on your knife. If I am not mistaken the pattern number is not on the knife because it’s a scout knife. I could be wrong as I have been before....but I think I am correct.Meridian_Mike wrote:Hello everyone....

Re: Is THIS a #72?
Ed is correct. It's a 1047, the Scout version of the 72. The 1047's never had a pattern number on the pile side of the tang (or anywhere else).

Re: Is THIS a #72?
Ahhhh.... OK, so it is a #72 but it is also a #1047.... LOL..... nothing confusing about that.
10-4....
So, now to the second part of my OP.... Does anyone have an extra scout shield hanging around their shop they would part with?

I thought I did, Mike, but after digging through my pile I discovered that once again my memory is faulty. Check with Dale or Glenn.

If you can find one that would be great. If not, don't worry.
Thanks again.

Re: Is THIS a #72?
Mike, you may be able to expand your search for a shield a little. If I'm not mistaken Imperial and/or Ulster made a lot of the BSA 1047s for Camillus and also used that same shield on their standard 4-blade Scout knives. Here's an Ulster with what I think is the same shield.

Re: Is THIS a #72?
Oh yeah.... I have been looking around for a $5 junker on the bay so I could rob a shield. Good point about that shield. I have to expand my view a bit.
Thanks!!
