That seems to be pretty common placement of it in Imperials of that era.
I have had several like that.

Not much else to say except that it was also a great way to bring a great old knife back to life.

Thanks for all the compliments guys! I really appreciate it!
I feel like i've come a long way over the past several months, but I couldn't have done it without the help of the seasoned mechanics here at AAPK. Their willingness to help at every turn, has opened doors to a whole new world. A special thanks to all of you!

I know how much I enjoy repairing & customizing knives.
I am happy to share the enjoyment and it is nice to see someone else who appreciates it as much as I do. ::tu::
