Charlie (RobesonsRME.com) and others were kind enough to provide information and opinions, and Charlie provided a photo of another "stabber" jack. (Charlie, I hope and pray that you and your family are doing OK with the virus.)
I sent the blade and spring out to Gary Claxon for welding and I think he outdid himself this time! He welded a new tip on the blade and replaced the lost metal on the tang, and filled in the huge divot worn in the spring. I got the parts back on Monday (third picture) and couldn't wait to put this old guy back together. My patch on the mark side scale doesn't match as well as I would like, but I'm pretty happy to have this one in my collection. Both blades have incredible snap!
