Bernie,

Great piece! Looks like Mike and the Cap nailed the era pretty well. I may be able to shed a little light on those snaps. When I get some time I'll make a post to include some pics.

Best,

Thanks Ron,
This is one of the learning curves in randalls. With the brown metal snaps it makes the sheath "rare" for a lack of better terms.

Cracker, early Vietnam sounds about right...somewhere around 1966.

Are you sure about the brass spacers? That doesn't look or sound quite right.

I think you meant to type red spacers and brass "hilt"? There were no brass spacers during this period that I have ever seen or heard of: "Collars"...but not metal spacers, at least not in brass. Advise...Thanks.
Best, Capt.Chris

Five spacers on a non-leather knife would make it post 1970-ish knife.....

well this gives me an idea thanks... as far as the brass spacers they look very much to be brass when I first got the knife they had green spots on them and one has a slight ding on the other side of the knife...did they use anything else that may look like brass? at first I thought the spacers were leather because the red is faded to brown... but I found a little speck of red..

thanks again

Josh

heres a photo of the back of the sheath if that helps

Josh, IMO,

The spacers "look like" they are the red with the gray centers, and the middle Blue/Black spacer is actually a thick gray one putting the knife from the late 70's to the mid 80's.. Sheath does not match the era of the knife, it is actually mismatch and older (or very much used) than the knife itself.
