You just keep coming up with prizes. Wow the bones are sweet, and the condition fab. The aged beauty you just can't get in a new release. Congrats. You scored off the charts.

One of my favorite marks. Here's a roper/coper I may have posted before. Iron liners and bolsters. Real tight and snappy. I'll post some others. J.O'.

That is a beauty J.O. and a hard to find one. If I remember right they were made after WW1 with leftover parts from the sailors knife production, they replaced the file blade with a pen for the civilian market, great knife.

Is the bail original to the knife?
In the pictures it looks like the pin was partially drilled through.
