NICE Congress there!
I have a few Queen reproduction/contract knives.
Both of these Marbles were made by Queen, the first one is a Redbone Teardrop Jack and the second is a Stag English Jack.
I also have this Repo' of a Remington 1306, it's from the 1970's under the Bowen name, but it's a Queen contract also.

Hi Johnnie,
That is one nice Congress, I like it...
As you can see from my avatar I collect Robeson knives and I have to say that even though I have tried to collect the original Robeson knives only, the beauty and craftsmanship of the Queen/Robeson knives have been incredible in my opinion. So beautiful in fact that I find myself here lately finding more of the Queen versions attractive than the older (and sometimes a little rough) Robesons, God forbid did I just say that...
I recommend if you get a chance to read the history of Robeson and Queen for that matter on the main page knife history section. It's amazing the long history of these knife makers...
Here are a couple of Robeson/Queen Canoes & a Blue Whittler

Some really nice knives here gents.
The Stockman pattern knife in this picture has O-1 tool steel blades, with the big Q tangstamp...hafted by Wendell Carson.

And speaking of Queen Repro's, here's a picture of my Queen/Northwoods Scagel repro. This is the closest thing I have to a custom knife, and I can't imagine a custom being much nicer:

Jim,
I do like that Scagel.
That revolver is a 1981 New Model Blackhawk, in .357. It will shoot .38s...even those snakeshots...

OKI, I am obviously missing out here. I don't even have one robeson or mastercraft congress, so boys, let on, wheres to get' em??
I do have a 1/50 Ivory Scagel though.

Are either one of these Queens a contract knife? Both nice, stag on one and unique pushbutton on the other. Pics from old camera and no tent.

Technically, I guess the Queen Mountain Man Lockback is a reproduction, or at least an imitation of the old Remington Tracker pattern. Here's a picture of mine in sambar stag and 1095 carbon steel:

...REALLY nice Ruger...
Yeah, that's what I was going to say, .357 isn't legal in Mexico, 38 special is... but there's no way that one could fine a nice one like that over here.

Come visit Luis...
We'll eat scorpion stew, crink Drown Royal, smoke cigars, and maybe squeeze off a few rounds at the rattlesnakes...all legally, of course.
