Also a special thank you to doglegg for directing me to this particular knife (it's a beauty). The pictures are the seller's. Thank you guys! Oh, my name is Skip. 
Thank you Jerry. I love this, I really do. Did Case ever make a 72 variation?jerryd6818 wrote:You're making great progress Skip. The wood handle may be a little more difficult to come by but with your tenacity, I'm sure you'll nail it.
Not to my knowledge. Close but no cigar. I'm very specific when it comes to 72 clones. Must be 3-5/8" closed. Must be swell center pattern. Must have the proper blade compliment. If someone else wants to deviate, that's their business, just don't try to pass it off to me as a 72 clone.New_Windsor_NY wrote:Thank you Jerry. I love this, I really do.

I agree completely. I've seen a few that were tempting, but upon VERY close examination, they turned out to be nice looking stockman knives. I've gotten much much better at detecting the wannabes. But, if I screw up in the future, I will still get a nice knife in the end.jerryd6818 wrote:Not to my knowledge. Close but no cigar. I'm very specific when it comes to 72 clones.

That's what I was thinking, or maybe Pakistan, but it's still a variation. Albeit probably a very cheaply made one. I'll know for sure when I receive it. Of course I'll post better, clearer pictures.

Really nice 72's guys. 
I'm with you. I too would buy a Rough Rider 72 clone.cody6268 wrote:This makes me wonder why there isn't a Rough Rider version of the 72. At least from what I see here; I think it would sell quite well. I'd buy one.

Could be another transition of the transitions... Nice thing seller took lots of pics and only charged me $10.50 to ship. Another 2 things i just noticed, my copy of Jim Sargents American Premium Guide to Knives and Razors show the #1 only came in rosewood and black delerin, this one looks to be done in sawn bone. And it is a locking sway back, like the TL-29ers. What gives??? Transition again? Other then that I think i'm pretty happy, especially for the price!
Interesting. I have an Ontario (which, while not an Old Hickory, I'm almost sure is a Queen) that uses those same handles. So, did they have a surplus of handles for Ontario knives, and sell them as regular Queens?WillyCamaro wrote:Another Queen for $33 just off the bay. And not a #19 this time!
It's a #1 Hawkbill in near mint condition, just a few stain spots on the blade, other wise should clean up perfectly. What gets me is the tang stamp, it's a long tale Q like on 1976 models, but has USA stamped underneath.
Once again I have to thank you. Thank you!doglegg wrote:Skip, that one is a steal. I put in a minimum bid on it simply on price and condition. I'm glad you got it. A really great knife especially for the price.
The knife looks like it has pins through the bolsters.I would say made before 1960.They started to using the Swindon System in 1960.New_Windsor_NY wrote:I just bought this one a few minutes ago. A, what appears to be, an Ulster 63. It has 3 blades and a swelled center. The pattern #, if there is one, is not with the main tang stamp. So hopefully, it's the earlier variation with the pattern # on the other side. The pictures are the seller's. The last picture is what I'm hoping for. I will clean up the knife and repost MY pictures when I get it.
