Help with Case fixed blade

I had a Case fixed blade that was handed down from my grandfather and stolen out of my truck. I am looking for another without any luck. If someone can tell me what I had, I may be able to research the internet for another. It had a shiny blade that looked chrome. It had only the word CASE without any XX or numbers. I have seen a few on e-bay that resembled it but not the same handle. The handle appeared to be plastic with black and silver flakes in it. I researched CASE handles and the only thing close is the red mottled. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I may not get my original back but at least I can get the same model.

Based on that handle it was a 1940's or earlier knife. Impossible to really tell more without more info.
You could review the fixed blade section in Sargent's book to see if you recognize a similar knife.

I appreciate it. There is a vintage Case Sportmans knife on ebay that resembles it except for the blade finish and handle. I will try to locate the book, see if I can find it and will get back with you. Do you think it will be hard to replace?
