It may be paper Micarta judging from the color............or it could be ivory.

It's a micarta, Randall wouldn't drill a lanyard hole in ivory.
Some micarta types and colors are quite collectible.

Thanks guys. It is micarta, but trying to date these things without having it in hand is really tough.
Going to look at it this morning, current price is way below asking.
If I purchase it more pics will be coming.

Westinghouse yellow micarta, apparently very rare. Model 1-8 stainless.

2013 Civic hybrid, I get around 45MPG. I get reimbursed for mileage by my clients, so definitely a winner.

The seller has a bunch of other knives he showed me, but not quite ready to sell yet.
No more Randall's but Gerber, bucks, and theater knives. Looking forward to more...

Met with my seller again and picked up a 1976 Gerber MK2, and a RIA M1905/1918 bayonet. Both nice and good prices.
Can't wait for round 3...

I am having a royal pain trying to reduce photos in windows 10 for posting. Same goes for doing it in my iPhone.
Thoughts?

I thought we had that problem ironed out. Try reducing the resolution setting before you take pics. What browser are you using with Windows 10?

I have never used Windows 10. Does it still come with Microsoft Paint? If so, Paint has an image resizing feature.
