My friend showed me this old Randall today. I have a few questions that perhaps you can answer.
1. What Model is this?
2. Would this sheath be original to this knife? It has a Randall button but is nothing that I have seen before.
3. Would you care to place a value on it?
Many thanks my Randall friends--

model 8. sheath is likely suppled outside of the shop, even tho it has the keeper snap. could have been scabbed from another sheath.

Probably scabbed off of the original sheath, keeper strap & All!

It’s a long time ago and this is just a distant memory of mine.
I recall my old friend Dubie Baxter posting photos of some early H H Heiser holsters that looked similar to this sheath ?
I’ve tried the search function but drawn a blank,I recall a photo of them strung out on a cord across the side of an old pickup truck.

Here you go Neale:
Dubie had some pretty cool Heiser leather. I’ll search the forum some more to see if I find any of his pics.

Thanks for that Micheal.
That’s definitely the photo I was thinking of,just wrong about the holsters.
As you say Dubie had a collection of Heiser holsters and he must have posted some pictures at some time,let’s hope you can track down the pictures

I sent a couple of old Heiser holsters to Greg Gutcher years ago, and I have one now with an old S&W Model 10 in it.

Trying to get back on topic, I see no clues as to Heiser having "anything"...whatsoever...to do with this sheath. "ALL" of their leather work, including a saddle I once owned, was stamped. The entire construction looks too amateurish to be HH...in my optinion.
Hope this helps,
Capt. Chris
PS: As referenced earlier, I still believe the strap to be RMK-supplied with the "original" sheath...CCS
