Check out Joe Dorsky's web site....www.rmkcollector.com
His is a very good site with a lot of info. He has written a lot about the Springfield Randall.

Springfield's were supplied with Mosser sheaths.

Correct me if I'm wrong Joe...but I believe "all" Springfields came in the same (Mosser) sheath. I cannot remember another example on any Springfield that was 100% correct.
Best, Capt. Chris

thanks guys. so it's my sheath correct?

So Springfield Randall's did not come in Southern Saddlery Sheaths?

Correct.... Springfields came in Mosser sheathes.

Here is one I picked up recently.

It's a 1943 knife in an Von Lengerke & Antoine sheath. Most of the fighters sold by VL&A were shipped from the shop without sheathes and fitted at the store.

The fighter Bo designed with Zackarias in late 1942 had a pronounced hump on the back of the blade. There was a short period of time in 1943 when the hump went away and the grinds seemed flatter. This is one of those knives.

The hilt and butt cap are very thin and the handle is smaller in diameter with more taper towards the butt.

Later in 1943 the hump came back into the pattern.

The three knives in the second photo were made within a one year period. There was a lot more variation in the grind, hilts, spacers and handles prior to later 1944

Love em!

Nice!!
