I'm guessing this is not a Case knife at all?

It's legit. Not in very good shape but it's real. Called a "half-canoe" pattern.

When the people fear their government, that is tyranny. When government fears the people, that is freedom.

Bob, here is a link to an AAPK post from Tom olderdogs1 showing a fine example of a 6203 (bone instead of stag).

I recon it is a rare pattern. I have never seen one of those before.
