Will, This dagger is fitted like you would expect an early C&J to be with their unique hand enhanced chest on the bird! These early Pack generic fittings date this one in the first year or two of production, (37-38). The only non typical feature on this piece is the grip wire. C&J had a unique very fine wire that was triple wound in a very "busy looking" way only used by them. So not sure how it ended up with this course double strand.. if I were you I would look very closely for the Z shield on the opposite side of the blade from the maker name hidden way up under the swaz.. be surprised if its not there! Best, Kevin.

It's ALL in the DETAILS!!.......
