Oh Gary, you know I love them. I’m not a fixed blade collector but I do like that muskrat you have there.

Re: Dave Shirley Marbles
Not sure if this has been posted before . Good reference to date the Modern Era Marbles Fixed Blades
The one Stagman show on the bottom has a different stamp that isn't in the Marbles Book not sure what's up with that

In late 2005 they added the USA under the banner stamp that
they used from 2002-2005-6...they used that 2005 stamp until
they went out of business in 2008-9

Just got this Marbles whittler from 2001. Fiery pearl handles. Pristine condition, not a single scratch of blade rub.

This is just my thoughts on you Prototype most of the time they do about 2 but have seen as many as 10 .GardenGram wrote: ↑Sat Nov 28, 2020 12:21 am Would you happen to know how many of my prototype were were made with smooth stone handle? 2001.
Not sure that your knife was a Marbles original prototype looks like it may have been rehandled most Prototypes would not mark through the original name on the box and put Stone unless it had a different handle to start with . Still a nice knife just don't recall it in any of the Marble Sales Catalog

Yes, tortoise is crossed off. I'm guessing because its marked prototype on the blade they tried stone, interesting and beautiful just the same.

Re: Dave Shirley Marbles
I agree any of the Davy Shirley Marbles are a rare find these days . They were all limited number. I haven't seen any more than 450 of each Pattern and that was split up into different handle material which is a low Number for knives.GardenGram wrote: ↑Sat Nov 28, 2020 5:59 pm Yes, tortoise is crossed off.

I went and picked up the rest of them. The more I look at them,they're too pretty to leave behind.
