There was only a special edition made called the missing dots knives that had ten dots and these were produced some time later.The knives that were produced in 90-91-92 said Bradford,Pa and 19USA90, 19USA91, 19USA92.

Similar to other decades. 7 dots=1993. 6 dots=1994.......1 dot=1999

[Oldredbone67]

So what is the date of this knife

[Oldredbone67]

So 4 dots =1996 right ?

Here's a link to the AAPK Research page that has info on dating Case knives. http://www.allaboutpocketknives.com/con ... ification/

For future reference it can be accessed by clicking on Research up there ^ at the top of the page. There's more great info contained there than a person can digest, but I sometimes forget it's there.
