Can anyone help with dating this little knife? The tang stamps are shown in the pictures and I haven't found any info on a #658 Western. Had to reprofile the clip blade as it had been tipped and was able to remove quite a bit of rust and stains. Has great snap on all 3 blades. The closed length is 3 7/16".

Re: Western #658
It should be about 1950 to 1961 if I read the tang stamp correctly. Nice little knife for sure!

Re: Western #658
Thanks Colonel,
Seems like the last couple of knives I've gotten have had tang stamps that are not as easy to pin down. I saw the tang stamp chart for Western knives, but this 658 is not exactly as the chart, but it is probably the closest to the one you pointed out .
