Here is a bit more Randall Talk.

I had a fellow contact me on my website with an early 1943 fighter he wanted to sell and it just arrived!!!

This is a very early knife, made in the first few months of 1943. The tells are:

A metal center spacer in a non red, white, blue spacer stack.

Flat blade grind

Thin hilt

Smaller than average handle

Thin butt cap

Brass chain link thong hole

Rawhide thong strap

Unriveted Heiser sheath

Long round lobe on the stone pocket (Clarence Moore original influence)

Many of these early style points were gone by mid 1943. and the classic red, white and blue spacers, blade grind, butt cap and hilt were in place.

Condition is really good. The stone is missing, but I can fix that.

Enjoy!

Way-cool Mitchell. Sheath has the appearance of a Clarence Moore with that stone pouch. Great find!
Happy New Year, Capt. Chris

De Witt County, Texas Sheriff Ray Markowsky served as the county's sheriff from 1946-1964. He was forced to resign, given politically incorrect procedures (which will be covered in the spring newsletter).
This is his RMK Model #3-7" and a very early example of a JRB, horizontal stamp, center-set brown button keeper strap, etc...
I know it ain't as old a Mitchell's fine knife..."BUT"...(Ahhh: I feel better already.)...it's damned early for a JRB. Hope ya' like it.
Stay sharp, Capt. Chris
