That usually means that you have the only one in existence, better hang on to it!

Yes sir, I will! Sure cant find anything on Vintage Imperial Congress when I google it. See the new chinese ones but not Vintage. I seen one from Roger that was bone on AAPK Imperial thread. But that's the only other one. There has to be more out there.

I can’t remember ever seeing a Congress pattern. But I’m no Imperial expert. OP has one, so we know they made at least one.

Original Taiwan made “Lightning.”
NOT the newer “mainland China, ‘Elite’ branded” version.

4 months of use:
-Sharp out of the box. A few swipes on the strop to shave hairs.
-Fit and finish? Outstanding. Everything tight as a drum, and lined up perfect. Even the pocket clip screws are still factory tight!
-Virtually ZERO “side to side” wobble. Seriously! Tight as could be. Only the one or two mm of “play” needed for smooth function and a LOT LESS wobble than a couple of the $200+ Models, I checked out.
-Not one failure to deploy in four months of almost daily use.
-A stout and strong tanto blade, of some version of 440, that holds its edge remarkably well. Has only needed a few swipes on the steel or strop to stay poppin sharp.
-About $30 incuding shipping.
Could be the Best Buy in OTFs going on right now. I know it changed my mind about OTFs.

Very cool EDC, and they're functional. Check out this thread-

I have one that just folds out the side. It's an older model.
It's a Pal so it stayed with me all day. 3 3/8" closed.
