That is a beauty. I like the display as well. Here is some more info on that series.

TRiver,

I have that same knife and sheath...no box or anything, and of course it is used. I actually found it while hiking way back in the mountains to a little know Trout Stream, heck....that was back in the mid seventies...lol

Thanks "tongueriver" fo the information.
Thanks to the rest for their kind remarks.
I purchased the knife because of the delrin handle it goes well with my Old Timer fix blades.

That would make quite the bacon and trout knife!

Love those American Eagle Sears/Schrades.
That is exceptional Grant.
Here is a 125OT I picked. Something about these ole Schrades, aint there?

Got this one in a few days ago from Steve Pfeiffer, a good member here who wrote THE book on CASE knives. 1950s deep red bone 895 slender stockman, 3 9/16 inches.

Here is a pre-1920 Schrade Cutco 2262.

A few years back,before I knew about AAPK and the Schrade model lists I picked up a SW 291 because I didn't have a trapper in that model # and had never seen a SW with a brass shield. When I became acquainted with AAPK and saw the lists I figured I had a fake so I posted pictures and asked for opinions. The consensus was that it was real. Someone even produced a distributors sheet that had 291 hand written on it. A couple weeks ago I found the second one on Ebay listed as a 294. There wasn't much activity on it...figured eveyone was laying off until the end so I bid way high. Paid $15.55 for it

Doug, sometimes providence smiles and ya just fall into it. Congratulations on your terrific find and an even sweeter deal.

I don't know much ,especially knives past WWII,but I would certainly give your money back. They go where they are supposed to,sometimes.

I sent Herman a couple pictures of them and he thinks that since I have 2 of them, I should get one re-handled in Schrade jigged bone.

I am waiting on the mailman for this 834.

I sure like that 895 red bone. I'm real fond of that pattern.
I got this Cut Co off Ebay. I haven't been able to find a match for it to get a model #. It's 3 1/4" All the chain knives I've found have 2 blades.

Looks like a 1251 on pg 29 of Schrade Catalog E,yours in bone.

I looked thru that book several times and didn't see it...
Thanks a bunch...i think it's the 1253 just above it though

You're right Doug,the 1253 is listed in the same description as the 1251 in my resource,only handled in bone stag.

Very nice. Early one, before they started doing peach seed.

Regarding the 291 shown above: how does it differ from a 293 ? Looks the same to me.

The only difference that I can see is the brass shield. On the 1964 price list the 291 is penciled in at $24.00 a dozen while the 293 is listed at $21 a dozen. A brass shield hardly seems worth a 12.5% increase in price. I would guess that's why the 291 didn't stick around.

I never had one of these until now. I kinda like it. Mother of Toilet Seat, Wonda Edge, in nice condition.
