Red, Here's an original BSA from NYK. Notice the shield is upside down. Bale missing. You know I rarely crow about prices but this one is special. I was in an antique mall in Salisbury and there were 4 or 5 knives lying loose on an open shelf. There was a guy in front of me looking them over and he walked away. I picked this one up and it said, "old knife, $12. I got that warn and fuzzy feeling and bought it and another decent knife that I don't remember for a couple bucks . I politely declined to haggle the price. :D :D J.O'.

Here ya go , the very first official Boy Scout knives ever made 1911-16 . The 2 blade easy opener is near impossible to find .
These 2 are what started it all .

The first original official Boy Scout knives were a 2 blade easy opener and a 4 blade traditional style scout with very large bails .
When I get a chance I can post pictures if you like ?
The one Roger posted is a rare pattern but definitely not the original knife .
