Great early Randalls Warren. What do ya think of this one?

Think it belongs here with the other 30 model 11's Randy. Yeah I do like that one pal!

Wow! 30 11s! I remember the one you picked up at Blade in 09. You let me shoot a quick video with your show finds.

Yeah always loved that blade shape! Thanks Randy.

This one belonged to a friend. It is pictured with his model 12 16ga. I was fortunate enough to pick it up at a local gun show last November and I have had the model 12 since 98.

Randy,
Is that a Moore sheath?
Nice knife, regardless, Capt. Chris

Yes it is Capt. Thanks..had to let go of one of my Colts to make the trade.

So Randy just so we understand, You took a gun to a knife fight and came home with a knife? LOL
Just kidding pal, great find. Please don't tell me what you traded for.

Great knives, Warren! They are near and dear to my heart as you know. There is a bit of a timeframe disconnect on this pair:



Metal snaps phased out in mid 1946. Nickel silver hilts were not offered by catalog until the 1948 publication, so the earliest one might expect to see one is late 1947.

Best,

Ron,

Thank you for the reply. So it's possible that the sheath is not original to the knife?
Also worth noting is both early sheathes are LH but the knives are RH finger grip.
