Ahhhh ha ha ha ha, that's a great one GSPTD. Perfect example. I have said for years, used knife sellers are worse than used car salesmen. They will lie in every sentence. They will sell you a lemon and tell you it's a peach. Buyer beware and beware and bewaaaaaare. You nailed it.

What is with this handle material? My 70 isn't much better, but the materials used in the late '50s are some of the few pre-Delrin synthetics that I've dealt with that don't shrink or outgas.

Thanks I-Man, .... and while you are here, ...have I got a great little creampuff for you, only used on Sundays by a little old lady from Pasadena It's a "near-mint" Western 533, just "like-new", looks like it's never been sharpened . I-Man this knife is like a fine wine – it only gets better with age, just like you

So, ... what will it take for you to go home with this knife today?

Looks like it was laid down too close to a heat source.

Yeaaaaah, that looks mint and unsharpened. And my brother in law is selling some beautiful beach front property in Wyoming. Cheap. Should I tell him you're interested? I know you'll love it!

I see them like this from time to time, they seem to shrink up as they age. But it does look like the heat got to it. I put one like you see in the listing with shrunken scales in vinegar to clean the rust off it and after a couple of days the scales just disengaged ...
