My big mistake re: a Model 22.

I had one with the pinned butt cap, "D" on the sheath.

Sent it in for verification and the shop replied that it was a "Nice old Model 22" and sent it back to me.

This was after Pete Hamilton had retired.

Later, Pete went on to write it up in his Blade column, and between that and Gaddis' book I learned about the history including the pinned butt cap and the "D" on the sheath.

However, by then I had sold it, not knowing enough about it until it was too late.
