Schrade LB7 info

Post by Ridgegrass » Tue May 16, 2023 10:55 pm

Wondering if anyone can date this LB7, 4 pin ? I understand some had serial numbers. This one has none that I could find. Thanks, J.O'.

According to the date charts in the Q&A section, 1979 to 2004.

The four pin models were made until around 1982 give or take a year so that should narrow it down a bit. Odd that it has no serial number.

Thanks Eric, any idea where it might be? I've been over it but my eyes could have missed it. If it's in the slot I can't see it. ?? O'.

It would be on the front edge (where the blade drops in) of the mark side bolster. Definitely doesn't look like there ever was one. Might have been a second or a warranty replacement. Definitely a nice older model ::tu:: ::tu::

Could be a second. The blade doesn't wiggle side to side but just very very slightly at the lock. Almost imperceptible but maybe enough for a picky quality control inspector.?? Thanks again. O'.
