Queen ACSB - amber carved stag bone

I got the urge a while back for a folding hunter and while looking around found a Queen ACSB #39. Absolutely beautiful jigged bone and when I saw it was D2 I couldn't order it fast enough.
Did a bit more digging after the hunter arrived and located a #49 stockman ACSB, stockman being my primary focus it's mine now.
So, question. I know these were pre DFC but does anyone know what year they were made? Was it all in one year or was it a series over several years?

Those are indeed gorgeous!
I have a Railsplitter in ACSB that was made around 2014 during the DFC era. Something tells me that you have one too, Trace but I might be thinking of someone else.
I'm only making an assumption but it seems logical that if ACSB was still being used in the DFC era and your knives are common Queen patterns made before then, those patterns were likely made for several years in ACSB.

Thank you DocB, my photography skills really do not do them justice.

That is a beauty RS thanks for sharing it. I saw somewhere online that at least one of the ACSB knives was available in 2007. So after seeing yours I can see they were both before and after DFC.
Sadly I don't have one but I would snatch up a railsplitter ACSB in a heart beat. It would look nice next to my rams horn, premiere and S&M stag.

Rotten,
Mighty fine, I love both patterns, the #39 and the #49. Beautiful bone!
My avatar shows 2 #49s both are the Winterbottom bone with '58-'60 stamps, one rides in the pocket pretty regularly and the other sits at home and waits.

I only have the one folding hunter and just glad I found the #39. I'd love to see some beauty shots of your #49s in the 'Who doesn't like stockman knives!' thread under General Knife Discussion. I'd link it but it's a pain on my phone.

I remember seeing these knives for sale around 2011 but they were not made all in one year. I bought quite a few before DFC. Probably started around 2009 (or earlier) if I remember correctly.
