Thanks for the ad .Does yours have a date stamped on the blade ? I can't find much info on the Johnny Muskrat and none on the red bone you have . Don't see the Red Bone Muskrat in any of the listing in Parkers Book .Maybe someone will shed some light on this. ::shrug::

It has 1998 stamped on both blades. Are you thinking it is a rehandle? ::shrug::

Has the same blade stamp that the stag Muskrat I have on my site . I don't think it has been rehandled . Parker just doesn't list much about the 1998 blade stamps in his book . I Know that the Hawbaker are less produced than the regular Muskrat . In Parkers Book in goes in detail about the 1995 blade stamped Muskrats but not the 1998 stamped . Love the Red Bone you Have, great find . Maybe he will give an update on his book (that would be nice). ::handshake::

Delmar, while researching a little I found an article that mentioned some of his contributions to Fur Fish Game magazine. You have a good memory. ::tu::
