This old knife just doesnt look good too me,,the problem is the tang stamps. There just too darn good and deep for such a old knife.
They look fairly new too me.
I'm not saying its wrong,,,but It looks more like a shave and restamped knife,,than the real deal too me!

Don't know about that one, Rig.
Here's a link to my A J Jordan that we're pretty sure was made at the Platt's Bro's plant.

I really dont know either, but It just doesnt look quite right too me.
I like your knife,,nice bomb shield, swedges and pretty bone. Your knife looks real old,,this guys just doesnt look old enough too me.

I agree 100% - fake looking blade stamps, and the bone looks too recent (like 1940's to 1960's era) to be on a real Platts.
