Now comes the fun part - finding out about it. I know Taylor has been in business for over a century. I think they are pretty much down to folders and kitchenware now.
The kids did try to come up with a Goins for me, but it’s gonna have to wait for my birthday, which is only a month. So, here I am again, mining you fine fellows for info. Google is surprisingly unhelpful this time.
Our Gunsil is of the opinion that it’s ‘50s-‘70s. Seems likely. There’s a lot of wear on it and someone did nastiness to the edge of the blade. It was almost serrated. I’ve got it back fairly good just using a stone but there’s a ways to go. The leather washers are quite dry and a bit rough. Given the wear on the blades and pommel, I’m a little surprised it’s not smoother. It did come with a sheath that fits but it’s marked ‘made in Germany’ so I don’t think it’s the original.
So, my new baby! It fits into the family very well! I do like my smallish fixeds. The collection is growing. This is number seven - I know, I know - barely a collection!
give me time! You should see my guitars and ukes!
