Re: 5365

Check out the sellers last picture in his Ebay ad.The length of the tang area on the so called cotton sampler blade is much shorter than on the 2 other blades.I think on a legitimate knife,the blade tangs would match in length.They are on the posted 6365 with the sawblade! Bill

Re: Old Case Knife

Picture of WR Case 6488,tested 88`s have a similar frame, so do early XX`s. I believe a Bradford era 88 would be the same. It is hard to tell for sure from the EBAY pics,but it appears to be a newer style frame even though it has recessed bolsters.not really hard to accomplish with the knife apart!

Re: Old Case Knife

My opinion is that the knife was put together out of parts.The Blades appear correct,but not the frame.It looks like a newer frame that has been rehandled with old bone.Just my opinion,I`m not any expert! Bill
