Negative Ron. I don't think it's earlier either. If the original wasn't sent to Tommy until early 1952 it most certainly couldn't have been "much" earlier. I think the story (and 1953 date) is solid.

That knife is probably around a 1955 version based on the acorn nut. They started showing up in later 1954.

Joe,

That doesn't look like any "acorn" nut I've ever seen!

Do you have a pic of another one that's identical?

Don't know what material it is made of, but it is an acorn nut.

Agreed....it's not a traditional early 50's flat flat brass nut, nor is it a shiny acorn from the mid 50's.

As much corrosion as it shows, it's carbon.... not brass.

It's carbon alright...and the tang extends out the rear.
