This looks fake to me

I took this down because I spoke out of turn.

I would say yes there was one. 1905 +a few years. Don"t know if it is tang stamped but B=waterfall.

It is authentic. I owned that exact knife, and sold it to the Ebayer who has it up for bids now.

How's that for confirmation !

I figure if someone went to the trouble of cobbling one of these they would have gone with a better Pen blade.

Agreed. Nice old survivor, save for that secondary.

As for the stamps, there have been hundreds of different variations over the 120 or so years of W.R. Case. Only the most often seen are in most charts, and there are several different charts. You can rarely rule out a knife’s authenticity based solely on comparing its stamps to a chart, but Goins’ Encyclopedia and Witcher’s Counterfeiting Antique Cutlery contain the most thorough charts I’m aware of.

Ok. I take it all back and offer my sincere apologies.

No apologies needed. We all make mistakes and we are all learning. Asking questions is good. Learning from the answers is good. If you don’t understand the answers, ask again!
