usmce4 Posted February 24, 2019 Share #1 Posted February 24, 2019 I bought this several weeks ago at a gun show along with a Camillus Care Tag. The price was silly cheap so considering the price and the condition I bought them assuming they were not genuine. However, on close inspection and comparison to several others, I find the Camillus is real. That makes me wonder about this, but I can only find two other people who have one of these and one has red lettering like a Camillus, and the other has the same black lettering as this but has other differences. I'm putting this on here hoping somebody, ANYBODY, will have a picture of a KA-BAR Care Tag they'll be willing to post or PM - even if it's different than mine. Even if it proves this one is not real I'm happy with it at the price I paid, but if it IS real I'd rather preserve it properly instead of displaying it on a knife. Thanks in advance for any assistance, Art Link to post Share on other sites
Bob Hudson Posted February 24, 2019 Share #2 Posted February 24, 2019 In searching the forum I can find many photos of the Camillus tags, but so far nothing on the Union Ka Bars. Link to post Share on other sites
Costa Posted February 24, 2019 Share #3 Posted February 24, 2019 never seen a Ka-Bar tag or 1 on a knife. Camillus, yes. Link to post Share on other sites

usmce4 Posted February 24, 2019 Author Share #9 Posted February 24, 2019 I only have one. I am not 100% sure it is genuine though. Don: Yours is the one I was referring to when I said I found another with black ink like mine but with slight differences. Bob: I've searched not only the forum, but the entire web for hours on end. Aside from Don's and the one with the red lettering the only other one I found is this, which is an obvious fake unless the reverse skipped the printing process and went thru a time warp to become brand new again.

Frank Trzaska Posted February 24, 2019 Share #10 Posted February 24, 2019 Art, Your tag is a reproduction. As you noted there are differences in the one posted by mikedon and in the one I have. All the best Frank Trzaska Link to post Share on other sites
