I plucked this short line no shield out off the Bay this morning. 30 bucks, what a steal! The pile side is not marked 72. A 1047 perhaps?

Thank you for posting that bone handled beauty here .And 30 bucks is a very good deal . ::nod::
From what have gathered from posts here and elsewhere that’s a early 1047 as you say .
That Frame and the bone Camillus used in the late 40 s early 50 s go so well together. You did well there Randy ::tu:: ::tu::

That no shield short line arrived on Friday! ::ds:: Here are some better pics! This one does not have a 72 on the pile side. I looked close to see if there were any sign of a Boy Scout etch but found nothing. So until I know better I'm considering it a possible 1047.

Thanks for posting here in the no Shield 72 s ::handshake::
