All About Pocket Knives

I purchased a small John Primble knife numbered 4927 with a star under the number. My question is what does the star stand for?

All john primble knives were built on contract for Belknap hardware wholesalers. John Primble was a brand name. I have two John Primble knives with a star on them. One is a small 4 blade congress with peachseed delrin handles obviously made by schrade. The other is a barlow that I suspect was made by Camillus,but I am not positive about it. John Primble knives are still being made for or by Blue Grass Cutlery the present owner of the name. Hope this helps

It is my understanding that the star identifies knives made by Boker USA on contract for the belknap hardware company.

Thanks for the info.
