bn1961 Posted July 6, 2019 Author Share #28 Posted July 6, 2019 Thanks much all. Especially AZnation. I really appreciate the help. Now I must print this out and keep it with the knife. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aznation Posted July 7, 2019 Share #29 Posted July 7, 2019 You're welcome. By the way, a wonderful knife and a really great scabbard. Congrats, and at least you know whose hands it once belonged. Take care...Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bn1961 Posted July 7, 2019 Author Share #30 Posted July 7, 2019 The cool thing is, he is from right here. I wish I could recall when and where I got this. I gotta see what else I can find on him. You gave me a great start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wm727 Posted September 24, 2021 Share #32 Posted September 24, 2021 Hi bn1961, I messaged you about this knife. Bill Messics was my grandfather and I'd love to discuss this further. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
