Year of Barlow?

Colonial Knife was incorporated in 1926 by three brothers; Antonio, Domenic, & Fredrick Paolantonio. It grew to become one of the largest pocket knife manufacturers in the US during the 1960s. The company shut down in 1998, but was back into production under the Colonial Cutlery International Corporation in 2001. Colonial Cutlery International, Inc. brand is the imported line of knives and tools while the U.S.A.- made products fall under the Colonial Knife brand.

Colonial did not change their tang stamps very often, and did not use a date code on their blades, so determining the date on one of their knives is difficult, if not impossible.
I hate that I cannot answer your question. Colonial put good steel into inexpensive knives.
