Hello all,

I recently won this at auction. Does anybody have an idea on what era this would be from? I believe it’s from the late 40s or early 50s due to the sheath.

Thanks,

Andrew

Hello Andrew

I sent the link to your question to a friend, Sheldon, and he replied as follows:

 

Without having the knife in hand, I'd have to go with the OP's assessment; basing much of this off the sheath - no rivets at the sheath mouth, no rivet on the missing keeper strap , no wide flaring at the sheath mouth, narrow stone pocket flap, etc. puts the ship date somewhere between 1953 and 1955, IMO.  The blade grind with narrow choils and small blade stamp puts it closer to the earlier end of those dates, but older forged blades were often used years after their initial forging, so that could be an outlier.  Hope that helps
