Love that 3rd one down, the only one with a shield.
Can't make out the model number; glare on the blade. What is it?

I have the 1983 single blade liner lock version coming in the mail but it is not etched Rawhide. It's possible that was polished off. It has the same color smooth wood.

Weren't there any stockmans in the series or are they not your favorite?

MSJ the second,third and fifth are stockman's. This series has numbers of it's on, but are in reality just regular Queens all dressed up in wooden handles. Not all wooden handle Queens are of the rawhide series, but as far as I know all the series had wooden handles. The hunter is a # 4200 but identical to a #39.

My 1983 single blade liner lock Queen Folding Hunter arrived. The only thing written on it is its Q 83 over USA tang stamp but I think it is a pattern 44L. It's in excellent condition except for light idiot scratches acquired while sharpening. I got it at a used knife price so I can live with them. I'm confident that nothing was polished off the blade. I do not remember seeing a Case single blade Folding Hunter _165 that was not flat ground. In contrast I do not remember seeing a Queen 44 that was not sabre ground. Another difference is that all the locking Case _165s I've seen had back locks and all the locking Queen 44s liner locks. I like buying some of my collection in used condition so that I'll have some that I am not reluctant to use.

I did not spot the low spey blade spines in your Stockmans. In hind sight the high sheep's foot blades should have identified them as Stockmans.
