All About Pocket Knives

O was the winner of this Queens Trapper on ebay.

It is a #19. I am trying to find out about what year she may have been made.

??? Made in 1984-1989 ?????

I note that the nail nicks are not like the new ones made now days.

Each blade has it pointing out to the handle. I find that strange.

What year did Queens change the nail nicks on the trappers?

This is the only photos I have yet and I hope that helps.

Is the tang stamp a QSteel stamp? If so: 1956 - 1960. The attached may assist in dating Queen and S&M knives.

thanks for posting that!
very handy, indeed.

Gee, justold if you would have got that all important tang stamp in the picture it would be easier to identify.
Can you give a picture of the tang? Thanks.

Pardon my typo please, the dates are 1958 – 1960 rather than 1956 – 1960.

Sorry but I just recived her in my mail today.
