Nice one Dwight! This one is in the museum, low S and a straight handle, like yours. The low S would indicate 63/64 production. The model 20 first appeared in the 1963 catalog with the standard model described as a straight leather handle. The "Ward Gay" model was pictured then and for several years after in the catalog as an upgrade, and was first called the "Ward Gay special" in the 1965 catalog.

Ken Lambert has added another Model 20 to his collection. He won the material in 2019 before Blade Show and he decided to build him a Model 20 with G-10 NASA green. It is a beauty! Sorry I don't have a Professional Photo, but I took this picture at the AGCA Gun & Knife Show.
