Two of my larger red bone Case knives, really high quality. I don't have a ton of Case but I like these two. It's interesting that the folding hunter has spun brass pins and the swing guard has peened NS pins.

Pile Driver,
You have some mighty fine lookin' Case knives! What you pointed out concerning the pins in the handles is even supported by pictures in knifeaholics book, "Collecting Case Knives".

Nice!!! The folding hunter has late Rogers bone handles, which are scarce for that pattern.
The pins on the 6111 1/2 L are also spun, but on many Case knives the final hafting flattens out the spun pin tops giving them the hand-peened appearance.
