Looks to be an early 50's Model 7-4.

How thick is the stock? It looks like a 5" #3 1/2. Difficult to say, just from the photo but the blade shape appears to be either a #3 grind or #4..."BUT" ( I know, I know )...it is not clearly apparent. Give us the overall (outside) dimensions, i.e. length from "blade side" of the hilt to the tip, along with the blade stock thickness (1/4" or 3/16", etc.) the width (top-to-bottom) of the blade.
Thanks, Capt. Chris

Cap,

1. The spine has a hump coming off the hilt which rules out a Model 4.

2. The shop catalog did not offer a 5" Model 3 until 1967! Peened tangs went the way of the Dodo in circa 1950. You can take 3/16" thickness to the bank.

Could very well be Ron. I am just trying to find out those specs and go from there. I am not (nor never will be) a big fan of died-in-the-wool absolute nevers. Too many examples of RMKs contrary to that. It may very well be a #7 type Ron. If it is, it is the broadest (at least looks broad from the photos) older #7 blade I can remember. Most, if anything, were more diminished by today's comparisons.
Best, Capt. Chris

I also notice a "4" stamp on the Heiser sheath...Can anyone with better (interpretation: "younger") eyes see any other sheath markings?

Cap,

Agreed that there are no absolutes where Randalls are concerned and each knife has to be evaluated on it's own merits, but in this case it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck. It's actually a no brainer when all the visual evidence is weighed. You'll see what I mean when the OP gives you the dimensions.

Cap,

It's important to me that all Randall forums maintain a "warm and fuzzy" feeling. If I came off as having a closed mind, then I apologize. Sometimes I post just to share knowledge.

Best,
