Ran across this 'un yesterday. Interested in what our resident experts have to say ...

I assume it to be a 'second' due to the xx on the main blade. It has what appears to be 3 different
tang stamps. Tested XX, Case Bros Bradford, and the early 90's date stamp of 1993!

::hmm::

Not saying it's a fake, because I don't know squat. ::handshake::

It is a Case Classic. The XX on the blade was an early stamp by Case Brothers in the early 1900's. The 0 in the pattern number is another clue along with the 1990's date. The Case Classic program was started by Jim Parker in the early 1990's. Most were made by Queen.

You are welcome. The Case Classics can make things confusing by bring back all of the old stampings.
