Hombre Posted October 29, 2019 Share #1 Posted October 29, 2019 Is it possible to say anything about this one with only these two pictures... Any opinions at all very much appreciated! Best, Hombre Sweden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKIPH Posted October 29, 2019 Share #2 Posted October 29, 2019 Looks like a reproduction. Scabbard is a repro with that EGA stamped on it, and if there are black spacers behind the guard, and in front of the pommel it's a Kabar recent model.

Hombre Posted October 29, 2019 Author Share #3 Posted October 29, 2019 Thank you for your answer. I really appreciate it. Yes, there are a black spacer behind the guard and in front of the pommel. So it is a recent Ka-Bar model made for commercial sales? Recent model, does that mean 1970´s or 1980´s or…. Sorry for all the questions.... I am a collector of old Winchester lever actions but really want to learn more about these…. I got these from a friend who now have passed away so they mean a lot to me… Best, Hombre Sweden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikedon Posted October 29, 2019 Share #4 Posted October 29, 2019 Yes, recent KA-BAR reproduction, late 70's and beyond. Very helpful website: http://www.usmilitaryknives.com/ka-bar.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sactroop Posted October 29, 2019 Share #5 Posted October 29, 2019 I believe Frank narrowed down the transition from parkerized blade to the present coating to the early 90's, so about 1976 to then. Between how that knife has aged and the way the two pictures are taken you really have to take a long look at this one. Good that KA-BAR put a lot of tells in their repro knives.
