I need to know the thickness of the guards on a case 6111 1/2 "cheetah" the older the better. Thanks

I have a pre 64 XX that is . 071. I wonder if these are original to the knife?- the metal is very shiny and doesn't match the blade well.

Thanks Bob! I figured they were around .065
.071 sounds pretty thick
