Jim really nice knife, I like the stag a lot even with the hairline cracks. I would like to find one just as knife. Looks as though it was taken very good care of.

This 7-5 with crown stag handle just came up on e-bay. I put it early 50's and I believe the handle was done by the shop. You don't see many "older" Randalls with crown stag handles and this handle is a beauty with a lot of character:
There was another 3-6 that I've seen with a crown stag handle. This one I put late '44 or early '45 primarily based on the sheath. It was originally chrome plated (Most likely by the shop) and a goodly portion of the chrome had come off over the years.
Best,

I've received a better photo of the handle / spacer interface and I'd like to make a correction on my statement above: I now do not believe the crown stag handle was done by the shop. It looks too "sloppy" of a job.
Best
