I had never really had the itch to add a Springfield Fighter to my collection. Many I have seen are either well worn, or are later production knives that lacked the quality deserving of the Randall trademark. Until now....
I believe this knife is early Larson production. Mosser sheath with staples instead of rivets. The seller said his Father bought it then stored it in the basement for years. It's never been carried, but his Father must have sharpened it....both the stone and the blade show light marks. The sheath is in excellent condition.
The blade was wrapped in a waxy brown paper and inserted in the sheath. I don't know if that's how Larson shipped them.... but it sure helped preseve the blade. No rust....no pitting.
