Really nice one Roger. I’d say it has lived a sheltered life.

What’s the rarity of that one versus the one with two bolsters?

Wow!! That is definitely a keeper. Very old and packed full of history.

Rugmar,I don't know. The Case experts would need to answer that question.

Ralph's unofficial, unscientific and highly questionable observations of the rarity of bone and stag handled Case Tested XX 050 cokebottle variations (not including the 0050 smaller cokebottle).

61050L Zipper switchblade. Extremely rare
C61050L Zipper switchblade. Very rare
C61050L lockback. Rare
C51050 stag. uncommon (could be easily convinced this is Rare)
61050 fairly common as compared to other patterns from the Case Tested XX era.
C61050 common as compared to other patterns from the Case Tested XX era.

Note that the leading "C" indicates 2 bolsters and the lack of a leading "C" indicates one bolster (barehead).

nice knife man!

i was reading this thread and came across where the stag handled tested coke bottle with 2 bolsters was uncommon almost rare! heres mine i dont wanna sell it but recent commitments might force me to. i hope not but any help with what i should expect this knife to bring will be very helpful

In response to your value question - here is a link to Case Tested XX C51050 SAB on eBay that you can follow. It has been listed for several months and has had a few price reductions.

With regard to your knife, the grind line where the blade and tang come together does not look original to me. Possible explanations could be:
1. Optical illusion in the photo
2. Blade is legitimate and someone "reground" it
3. A new blade has be welded onto the old tang.

It would be good if you could look at it under magnification to make a determination.

The knife at the least has been re-pinned.
