Looks like both of these have had blades replaced.

I wondered about the missing stamp. Was'nt sure if it was worn out or something off. Oh well , I only paid $25 for one and traded a knife I did not care about for the other. Win some lose some.

Here is a dag blade Russell made for the Museum of the Fur Trade at Chadron Nebr. they sold the blades only, I made mine into the knife as intended. The sheath was made and beaded by a good friend. It’s a honkin big knife.

You can always get more money, good old knives are hard to find.
