Here's an unusual Mini-T: A single blade factory sample Queen #51 with Rosewood handle. OCD Mini-T Monkey is all in a tizzy because the "Big Q" tang stamp dates this one as a 1945-1955 release, and yet it came in a white (DFC era) Schatt & Morgan box with an ID label that is correct for this knife. It certainly doesn't look 66-76 years old, so how that happened is indeed a mystery. ::hmm:: ::shrug::

Unless this is actually a "Small Q" stamp from the 1971 transition period--which would make more sense, but still doesn't explain the S&M box. ::undecided:: :?

Really like that pattern & B&S did well with that one. Is that current production or an older one ?

Thank you David (& once again, thank you ~Q~). It's better in hand than it is in the picture. In hand, you can feel the quality. It's killer.
