I just saw this one on Ebay, and it looks like a faux winterbottom Queen Hunter with an Eye Brand blade.
I borrowed a pic of an Eye Hunter from MuskratMan to show the frame and pin positions.
I also borrowed a Queen hunter pic from Mike Latham, and they seem to match the "Eye Brand" for sale.
Any opinions?

Thanks!
Keith

for one thing, the blades are different...shoulder cuts.... if someone did want to put an eye brand blade on a queen imitation winterbone knife, i would think it was done for his own personal use, not to resell. those knives do not bring much money unless they are genuine winterbone. and even then it might bring $125 tops.

one thing that i can attest to myself. i cannot identify that pattern with that blade. maybe someone else can be more specific.
