Original or?
Original or?
I recently picked up this Western fixed blade Scout knife. The seller said it was an L66. I know that it is, in fact, a Western because it has the split tang. That said, the only Western Scout Fixed Blades I have seen have stacked leather handles. Yet the Stag on this knife appears to my eyes to be original. So, I thought I would post it here to see if any Western Experts might offer an opinion on its authenticity. I don't have a lot invested in it, so feel free to be critical. At worst, I have a great belt friendly user.

It looks like an H48 to me. I don't know if the H48 was ever issued as a Scout knife though.
Interesting.
