These have always held an interest for me.
Any other thoughts as to the marking meanings?
Way way back I owned a blued example. The scabbard had been repainted and I never trusted it. Had a great brown frog though. Traded off long ago. Before computers for me.
I recall aluminum screws and spanner nuts in the grips.
I know this is a rather old thread but it has much of interest to it. Perhaps it could be linked to the more recent thread.
