: Believe it's a 5171L, the edge has seen a hone, othere than that, as made, but with age.

That sure is a beauty Earl!

Can you please post a picture of the back of a knife? Would love to see it.

Thanks, Jerry

Bill,
That XX trapper on the tested frame is a beauty and rare for sure.

Here is a picture of its brother in Rogers Bone although not in as good of condition as yours.

Thank You,Larry, Roger, Tom, for the comments on the trapper,I like yours also Tom.I think Rogers Bone on one of those would be harder to find. Bill

I have posted pictures of case xx that I thought/was told that it was a 5171L,
I have received comments from this posting calling it a 5172L.
Not being a real collector or case guy, I confused!
What case knife have I shown in posting, please help.

Earl,yours is a 5171L. Bill

Great knives Gents! Trappers are not my passion personally but those are really nice ones.

As Bill said, it is a 71 frame Earl. The 72 is a big clasp knife.

Not the rarest but I do have 2 USA cheetahs with no pattern # and 1 USA Cheetah with extra 1

olderdogs1 · Post by **olderdogs1** » Fri Nov 11, 2016 3:13 pm

Both pretty rare if you ask me.

Very nice

Nice knives. As Tom said, fairly rare. I have pristine extra 1 and the other 3 variations in that era that are not shabby either. Not many are aware there are 4 model stamp or lack thereof variations in USA era.

Thank you.

It looks like it might be, but really hard to tell. Does the picture of the tang stamp show everything or are there other clues. Is the secondary blade marked at all?

Tom

FRJ · Post by **FRJ** » Tue Nov 15, 2016 5:44 pm

Thanks, Tom.
There is nothing stamped on the pile side of main blade. Nothing stamped on either side of secondary.
Mark side of main shows some stamping above "& son". Nothing below that.

I couldn't say with any degree of certainty that it is a WRCase & Son knife but it looks like a high quality knife.
