Case Fixed Blade - Need Help on Age
Posted: Fri Nov 09, 2007 9:13 pm
Some of you Case collectors out there please help me to know the age of this hunting knife.
It is a chrome blade and I understand from Sargent's book that this dates it from 1934 to 1983. If we could pin that down a little it would be appreciated.
Pommell is aluminum and hilt or guard looks to be brass.
Blade length is 4 3/4 inches.
OAL is almost 8 3/4 inches.
Assuming sheath to be original, the leather inside the belt loop is finished. One of the articles mentioned this.
Ricasso stamped only CASE in block letters. No pattern number, nothing else.
