The red knife was advertised as used by Schrade in knife magazine adds and had been given to the seller , redtrout, by Albert. It's serial # is 0000, has the correct blade etch, shield, sterling on the bolster, machined back springs but wrong tang stamp.
I got the brown one on Ebay with no description. It has no serial#, no sterling on the bolster, correct shield, blade etch, springs and tang stamp.
The red knife has a plausible explanation and I have no reason to doubt it. Is the brown one an assembled from parts knife? Only paid $18.02 for it so no damage but I am curious what it is. Any input would be appreciated.
Thanks
Doug
