Early Schrade Knife Question

I thought the extra pin looks very unussual on this knife? (The one to the left-below the shield) Can anyone explain this? (There also seems to be a strange hole, almost like it was for another pin on the back scale.)

Beats me! I dont see why anybody would put extra pins in it, and can't see the purpose of it originally being built like that either.

Maybe some bizarre repair job,wonder how the backspring(s) affected by it.

You got me. I would say self lnflicted though!

It could be a semi-bonafide repair process for a broken backspring. They are most likely stainless steel, as marked on the blades. SS springs had a tendency to break.

If so, it was of limited effectiveness, as the blades are described as "lazy"

Thanks Charlie and Elbertson you reinforced what I was thinking, but I don't have any experience with knife repair - and it seemed mindboggling how that pin went parilously through the backspring.

I suspect there is a break in the backspring between the rocker pin and that added pin.
