2nd White Box also with Sword in Stone and Decoration Date 1971 to 1975???????

3rd Black Box with Sword in Stone , Date 1974 to 1980???????

4th Orange Box with Sword in Stone Date 1980 to 1990??????

I guess I must be right no one has an opinion. Thought I would get a little response on this. didn't want to get it wrong. All my info is from the literature that I've found in the boxes so if anyone can help thanks in advance. Boxes are a good way to put a timeline to a knife. Look at the different boxes that Case Has used since they got away from putting 6 to a box that everyone calls a Punkin Box every 10 years case changed the color of the box.

I think I can help some. The Gerber FFH folding hunter was first introduced in 1968 and used the brown box. 1971 was the last year for the delrin handle knife second one on the left.. Also the lettering on this box is a little larger like the brown box. The box on the far right was made in 1974 which was the last year of the FFH folding hunter. The only way I had to determine that this was 1974 was the knife was EBONY wood that was only used in 1974.
