Unusual Tang Stamp

The W.R. Case & Sons Cutlery Company has a very rich history that began in 1889 when William Russell (“W.R.”), Jean, John, and Andrew Case began fashioning their knives and selling them along a wagon trail in upstate New York. The company has produced countless treasures and it continues to do so as one of the most collected brands in the world.

That Tang Stamp indicates 1982 year of make for that knife not 1988. The Copyright stamp I’m not sure about ?? I have never seen it myself but possibly someone else has ??

The Copyright stamp is a cold stamp, added aftermarket. Why? Only the individual who did it knows the answer to that.

::hmm:: Didn't the Scarlet Rose knives have an "SR" in front of the pattern number?

Does it have something to do with Colonel Coon knives by Adrain Harris?

It looks like a "c" inside of a "C." ::shrug::
