I know it's nice to see signs that a blade was carried in harm's way, but I think a "new" 50 year old one has its merits as well.

Holzinger258 Knife Enthusiast Registered: 09/14/05 Posts: 1807 Loc: The Desert Southwest	A great knife! Very similar to my stainless 15 (except your brass hilt is thicker than mine, and your finger grooves are deeper). Assuming your stone and sheath are original, it appears that your knife was made between 1967 and 1969. [click for picture] Attachments ------ _________________________ -Steve RKCC CM-066 RKS #258

Mine is also 50 years old--it was my go-to car knife. It's been sharpened a couple of times, and lived in my car trunk in its sheath for twenty years, before I "retired" it and replaced it with a Ka-Bar a number of years ago. Even after all this punishment, it still looks pretty "new." _________________________ -Steve RKCC CM-066 RKS #258

desert.snake Knife Enthusiast Registered: 09/25/13 Posts: 1156 Loc: the other side of the earth	Interestingly, I see it on sale. It is indicated as a prototype GTR. The shape of the paws on the handle is similar to Ward Gay handle, but the end of the handle is straight, like the standard handle shape. I'm interested in the originality of the hole for the strap. It's very similar to the 3 mini model, but length of the blade is indicated by 4 inches Attachments ------ ------ ------ ------ _________________________ Si vis pacem, para bellum
