Another NO LINE tang stamp

[doglegg]

I ran across this no line tang stamp bone handled 12 in the bay. A lot of the offering in the first year of production after the war had bone handles which I love. But the exciting thing to me is that it is the elusive no line tang stamp. This makes my third, a 17, a 72 and now this 12. It has a small crack in the spine of the pen blade hardly noticeable. Thrilled to find it! Thanks for sharing my excitement.

That is a Beauty ! I am jealous
Was the 'no line' stamping used only in 1946 & '47 ? (please excuse if i have asked this before)

Thanks Doc, bone always gets me.

Roland, I have read that it was 46-55 but I'm not sure how much it was used later. The 99 camp knife used it a lot, and the military rope knife used it as well stamped over stainless as did some fish knives. That is just from my observation. Thanks.

Skip the no line's are always an exciting find to me. Thanks.

Tommy, it was only used a little after the war. I learned of it from Jerry and Vit and am always on the look out for them. Always excited when I find one. They are scarce enough that they don't drive up the price. My third one and always on the look out. My no line 72 is my favorite. Thanks.
