Lookin' For Case Congress Information R52052

9ball · Post by **9ball** » Sat Jul 15, 2006 5:43 pm

I am not too familiar with newer Case knives, other than patterns.
I believe this is called Red Stag, pattern number stamped on pen blade is R52052.
Feels well made & thick. Two springs, one for each blade.
Can someone give me any other info.

Thanks for your time.

Howdy Rick,

Very nice piece my friend! I'M not too familiar with the newer Case knives either but I think this one you have here is a 1992 year made & you are right about it being Red Stag Rick, the R in front of the 5 in the pattern number indicates the color Red, the number 5 indicates the handle is Stag, the next number 2 would mean the number of blades & the last three numbers (052) would indicate that this Congress is of the medium size Congress patterns ....These are increasing in value every year & I would say market value on this piece you have here with the original box has a market value between $100 to $145 or maybe more!

4 dots under the long tail C means 1996 - 2000 minus 4 = 1996.

Odd looking stag, but that pattern number would be correct for modern red stag.

Thanks Folks for the info.

Had to cut down & up an apple tree this morning. Think I will do something inside for awile. Too Hot/Humid for me.

Since Case has got all the different bones, stags, designs, makin' this for that, and stamps these days, maybe everybody is starting to get a littled confused. Not to mention Counterfeits!

I wanted to made sure it was not is some kinda set or short run also.
I found a few of them on eBay, but no congress or history/dating.

It came to me in a trade.......I am thinking about putting it in the Boss's yard sale and see what happens, I want to be sure it is Stag.

Hey knifeaholic & Rick,

Thanks for clearing the air on the year made made on Rick's knife, its always nice to be corrected by a pro + I have learned something to boot! Would knifeaholic care to comment on the run amount for this piece as I would like to know, I think its 500 pieces but not sure?

Rick, what I like the most on your Case - 1996 - R52052 are the handles & if I were you I would keep this here piece for its uniqueness in the handle material but that's just my humble opinion my friend!

Rick, "Hot" is the word for down here alright & my Laura says "Hey" back at ya, you should see her Angel Trumpet plants she has been growing for a few years now (WOW

), if I can get her to take some shots of them I will send you photos later on my friend ....Talk to you later & thanks for your knife post!
