tex, welcome to aapk ! ! ! And that is a sweet looking leather w/ stag butt fixed blade you have there.
Dating is more based on the "
A" in "M
ARBLES" than the spacers on the handle. The cross part of the "A" hooks to the left and that is a tell-tale way to date your knife. Unfortunately I don't have my Marbles book with me right now. But someone else might be along shortly, if not I'll get back to you.
