1983 Mule Day knife

Hey everyone, does anyone have a photo of a 1983 Mule Day knife. Just curious about the one posted on eBay currently. It just doesn’t look quite right to me. With all the Case counterfeits around I am wondering about this knife. Thanks

I know it may be too late but here is a pic of the 1983 small trapper.

No worries it was out of my price range anyway. I was just thrown by the tang stamp but it was just like yours so it must be real. I am not sure if there are many counterfeit Colonel Coons but I hear about Case counterfeits a lot. Anyway thank you for responding with the picture.
