Bobby,
What you have is "Solingen" Randall Model #14-7 1/2", "Attack" model. It is of VietNam war era, as is indicated by the unlined wrist thong. The entire package looks original...with the exception of the stone. It could be a replacement.
Hope this helps, Capt. Chris

bphutch4,

Please direct your inquiries and questions here first before calling the Shop. They get about a hundred calls a day, and they try to do their best to accommodate, but....

We want to do all we can here, to lighten their load, especially on inquiries. Even as a Randall dealer, I call Captain Chris before giving them a call, to answer a question.

I don't think the sheath is original to the knife, but it may be original to the stone.

Bobby,
I your opening comments you stated that you "contacted Randall in Orlando and that was not very helpful". I think that is what Buck is referring to.
Best, Capt. Chris

My mistake, Bobby. I assumed you called when you said you "contacted" the Shop. Forgot about e-mail, my bad.

Still hope you and anyone else reading this apology will contact the Forum first, in the future.

In fact that ole knife is affectionately called a hump back Solingen. Like Joe said that knife probably came in another sheath....not 100% but most likely and it would have been what we call a Riveted Johnson Sheath. That Model Randall served well in Vietnam.

On second thought I believe that is the correct original sheath. If you look closely at it you can see punch marks where it was punched in preparation for rivets to be added. I believe it's good.

Like I stated in the Heiser vs. Johnsnon threads, that is the problem using photos. Often it is hard to say for sure. I can see one mark on the sheath that looks like it could be a punch mark but looks more like a dent than a punch hole. Don't know for sure and I only see one mark. You Ronnie?
