Ive had this Ka-bar for while it says Olean NY with bird eye pins love it its big and the pins look good ,just one problem no numbers on any of the blades for the pattern.I read somewhere that in the Olean plant sometimes numbers wernt put on them.Especially before they moved the plant,dont know is this common with the older Ka-bars? 2.Does anyone know this pattern or how old it is. jamfish50.....Thanks

jamfish,
nice old knife. ............. (older than mine)
It would be nice to see your stamp. KA-BAR OLEAN N.Y. dates 1923 - 1950
Mine is Kabar without caps and the hyphen. Much earlier stamp.
Like you, I like every thing about this knife.
EDIT: I double clicked (finally) on your picture and did see your stamp.
