Western ? I was thinking it looked like a Winchester.
Nice Clark . I carried a Wards by Winchester that looked like that one. I think it was 3 7/8" though.edge213 wrote: ↑Sun Jan 19, 2025 4:04 amI was wondering the same.

Thank you very much Ken, I can see it’s not a Sow now. Just what I was told. Thanks for sharing a photo like up of each to show next to each other.Mumbleypeg wrote: ↑Sun Jan 19, 2025 12:15 am Nice knife, but I agree it’s not a “sowbelly”. I’d call it a serpentine stockman. Sowbelly pattern has a more pronounced “belly”. Sowbelly’s are also typically heavier looking than a stockman (they may it be actually heavier - they just “look” like it).
Some examples. Top to bottom: Case 6318 Serpentine Stockman, Moore Maker 5303 Sowbelly, Schrade 881Y Serpentine Stockman. Hope that helps.

It does look like the 94 was offered in the 1921 catalog pages as 5394. then offered as the 53094 in 1931 catalog page you posted “ not invisible at all”’tongueriver wrote: ↑Mon Jan 20, 2025 12:12 amMy posts appear to be mostly or completely invisible.Thomasg wrote: ↑Mon Jan 20, 2025 12:06 amGreat find .
