2 Cripple Creeks And A Cargill

Post by JohnR »

Picked up 2 Cripple Creeks and a stag Barlow just marked Cargill. The Nutmeg State Barlow has no date and came in a box with an insert. From what I can find out the stag Barlow would have been one of Bob Cargill's custom knives made pre Cripple Creek. The third knife is a Knife World Moose pattern.
