Souvenir from my scouting past

[sunknife]

I was looking thru the scout knives in the AAPK store and came across this one offered by Cosgrove Cutlery. This is the district council that served my Boy Scout troop when I was a youngster, late 60's early 70's. How it ended up out east in Tom's hands so far from home I don't know but I had to have it.
It's an Imperial-Ireland stamped walnut handled novelty quality knife but useable if one were to put it into service. I don't intend to do that though.
I don't believe its very old and they may even still have them offered at the local scout headquarters back in my hometown. I now live 300 miles from there but an online search showed the district office still in the same building as it was back in the day. Next time I'm back visiting family I wanna make a point of stopping in there and having a look around for nostalgia's sake. From the pic the old HQ looks just as it did back then, impeccably maintained.
Would like to get a couple more of these knives for 2 of my brothers who were scouts as well.
Thanks for taking a look.

I doubt these are still available unless sales there are very slow. It is likely that new Scout knives are made in China.
