Just picked up this little gem

From the main identification thread in the forum read this as 1968 vintage or thereabouts…

If there are no stamps on the ricassos and there are no stamps on the guard, then it is not a Western made knife.

I'm confused (not an unusual condition) but the last picture in the OP shows a stamp that says "WESTERN" over "BOULDER COLO USA". Is that a different knife? ::shrug::

Yes Ken, it is, that Western marked knife is from the original posting with a Western tang stamping, I have added my pictures to see if anyone can help me out as to who made the knife I just acquired in the newest pictures. It looks and feels like a Western #49 but w/o any markings.
