Is the Griffon from Bridgeport, Connecticut?

No doubt; and he has gotta be a slick talker too. I just don't have that skill. I just walk away when the numbers aren't there for me. I have a really good friend who can wheel-n-deal when it comes to guns. A fella has got to know his business.

Most were $30-40, but this one was $60. To me, maybe not as good of a value as the $40 Schrade one, but there were a few patterns that I'd been wanting for some time (the Schrade group is coming home once my funds allow).

Had my work cut out cleaning these. Many had massive amounts (especially the Case Barlow) of pocket lint built up. Pretty sure the reason the Stockman had a snapped spring was from being in a toolbox/tacklebox. They had cleaned the outside (aka polished up the handles and bolsters), but nothing else.

Remington Granddaddy Barlow, guessing 1920s era? Tang stamp is worn off, and there's ZERO snap.

Case Loomfixer, red bone, '40-64 era. Blades are well worn, and there's a small chunk out of the bone. Had to clean gunk out of the blade wells and flush the pivot. However, still sharp, and the springs are still strong as heck (it was described as not having good snap--but cleaning diid the trick). My right middle finger still hurts from closing the pen blade on it.

Case Barlow, 5 dot (1975). Red Delrin handles. Blades are moderately worn (but blunt). Had to probably scrape out two tablespoons of pocket lint with a dental pick.

Case 6347HP Stockman (stainless blades)--1973 (seven dot). The spring layer for the spey and coping blades has snapped. I put in a warranty request to Case to see if they will be able to fix it.
