Case Tested?

Guys,
I was digging around in some 'stuff' today and turned this little dandy up. I can't tell if it is a frankenknife, a counterfeit or what. Did Case ever have a 3½ inch serpentine jack with smooth bone handles in the Tested era?

Hi Ray. Off-hand I would assume it is an well-worn 6207. Is there any evidence of a second blade, perhaps a broken-off pen blade tang remaining?

Looks like Appaloosa bone.

There is no indication that a blade has been removed. Isn't appaloosa bone a more recent innovation? Maybe this blade was stuck into a more recent frame???

Frame looks like a Parker. How does the blade fit up and function? Does the backspring have the same amount of corrosion?

Good point, Wayne. The patina seems to match but the transition from the backspring to the blade is not the greatest.
I sure appreciate all the input and I think I'll call it a frankenknife and into the junk pile it will go.

Nothing at all right with that one Ray. Frankenknife for sure.
