I got this on ebay for a BIN price. A Girl Scout Wire Jack mess kit. The pouch looks bad but the Knife, Fork & Spoon all appear in good shape, just need a little cleanup. These are the sellers pictures. I couldn't see a makers mark on the spoon, but the Knife is a Geo Schrade with a 9-21-26 tang stamp. The Fork only has Pat. 9-21-26. So adding a date I didn't have with my Wire Jack Sets. I haven't posted this in the "It's In The Mail" thread because I haven't received notification of shipment yet.

Thanks Joe, I did also the first time I saw the listing. Later went back checking for new listings and saw this one again, then noticed the tang stamp.

Thanks Skip.

I've got a good question. I've noticed, most of these kits, The Boy Scout seems to always be the brown leather, and Girl Scouts the Black Pig Skin. Was there ever any of the Girl Scout kits in Leather? Just wondering out of curiosity.

I have no idea Smitty. ::shrug:: Maybe someone in the "The All Scout Knives Thread" could answer that one. ::tu::

Another day another wirejack, hahaha. Super nice condition but the biggest surprise was the double tang stamp which I had missed.

Search forever and then find two in a week. This one doesn’t measure up to the other but it’s still all there and mechanically it’s good. The tip has been messed up but it is what it is for a 100 year old knife that probably cost pennies.

I know it wasn't you that sniped me on the large spear point last night because it went way too high. I'd like to know who paid $227.50 plus tax and shipping.

Edit: Actually meant the comment for Skip

My limit is $226.73 so it wasn't me. And I will take one for Skip on occasion. ::tounge:: ::nod:: ::handshake::

Just a couple of minutes before I submitted the winning bid, I sold an item for $200. So, subtract $200 from $250.13 and you're left with $50.13
Just got VERY lucky, that's all. ::tu::
