I don't have many Randalls that have the original white wrap paper still with them but I do have a few. This is one and also one of my favorites. I've figured out part of the notation on the paper, but not the rest. Obviously, 1-7 is the knife model (1) and blade length (7), SS is stainless steel, NS is nickel silver and FCH is forward curved hilt. But what do the rest of the acronyms mean?

Aluminum spacers, nickel silver butt plate and it looks like a "CW" for customer-supplied handle material. Also looks like it came with a black sheath??

Skeetdoc could probably decipher it. Looks like my last hand-written prescription...

I think it's Jason's scribble...perhaps Scott. The hurryder they get the scrambleder it goes!
Capt. Chris

Okay. Notations in order on the paper:
1-7 (obvious)
SS for stainless steel blade
NS for nickel silver hilt
FCH for forward curved hilt
NSP for nickel silver plate
WW ???
ASP for aluminum spacers
MM ???
Capt. Cris - I don't see where you get black sheath. It does have a black sheath, but I don't understand how you knew that.

It does have a nickel silver butt plate and it did come to me with a black sheath.

The last set of letters looks like it could be MB

Last letters are "MAB" for Model "A" sheath in black. I take it you (or someone) supplied this handle material?

I know the feeling on the decipherin'.

The enclosed photo shows what appears to be a Model 5-6" with a stainless steel blade, nickel-silver hilt-single/squared, & aluminum & black spacers.

Both my customer from Texas and I are still scratching our heads trying to figure out how they managed to fit the model 5- 4" inch sheath wrapped up inside, to that knife.

Neither "author" had stepped forward to admit the blade does lose a couple of inches in shipping to NC.
