I'm sure this one is already here. It's on an Imperial. Does anyone know what it stands for?

Thanks Jerry. I can't take a good pic.
I was referring to the state shields you posted.

Don't think that this one's been shown yet, especially on a BOKER U.S.A.

Neat, huh. I like them. I'm not enthusiastic about the GEC Whalers but if I could afford it, I'd buy them just for the shields.

Yeah, well. A year or two ago, I called GEC in an attempt to buy a shield I liked a lot, just the shield, (Probably beaver or guitar. Sorry, can't remember which one right now. CRAFT disease ya know.). I was told very quickly in no uncertain terms, "No way Jose".

They probably thought you would re-sell it on a custom made knife or something ::shrug::

I bet if you called them and told them the shield fell off your knife and was lost they would send one right out for free ::hmm:: :lol: ::paranoid:: just joking around, you would have to be a liar to do something like that, I know I could not do it nor do I recommend it ::huff::

I wasn't up for scrolling through 21 pages to see if a First Class Boy Scout shield had been posted yet. If it has, my apologies and here's a second from a rather worn, early Camillus 1047.
