Help with id. SS reverse circle mark
Hi. Can anyone give me some info on this knife? None of the tang mark photos I have found on the internet match it. It has 2 S marks and the made in usa marks seem to be reversed. Looks old to me. Shame its cracked so bad.

If my old memory serves, the S designates stainless.

Ray is correct, I have two or three that have stainless blades and the same mark.

I believe the model is R6575. Sleeveboard with tip bolsters.

Ok thanks. I looked at some sleeveboard photos and it also closely matches R6643.
Any idea why the "Made in" and "USA" marks are reversed compared to all the other tang stamps I have seen?

Due to the pocket wear I could not see if the handles are pyremite or bone??? If bone it is probably the model you found.

Re: Help with id. SS reverse circle mark
It's a late 30's era knife, I believe the "made in" and "USA" were reversed on the "S S "(stainless steel) tang stamp.
