Name this Old Timer

This one has me stumped... two blades with what is surely bone scales. Doesn't look to be sawcut, but that could have been worn away. Can't find an older OT in this frame that had bone in the catalogs. Can't think of a later special edition that fits this look ::hmm:: ::shrug::

Looks like a stockman without the main blade. Employee model?

It sure looks like an 8OT with original bone covers with a missing blade.

Here is the feebay listing on it. Can't tell if it's really missing a main blade, or the main blade has had too much stone sex.

Y'all don't reckon it could be an improved muskrat pattern? But it couldn't be a 77OT. Maybe it started life as a 787 and someone put bone scales on it w/ a OT shield a long time ago?

Did the Schrade/Old Timer bunch ever make a "moose" pattern? I thought the knife was a "moose" with well worn blades ::shrug:: .

Guess those stumps do resemble a clip and spear. I suspect they are both what's left over from reshaped Turkish clips.

This one keeps popping up on my saved ebay searches. I'm fairly certain it's an original bone 8ot that has had a very rough life.

You can see on the far right blade the swedge curves down, like on a sheepsfoot. You can tell from the state of the knife the previous owner was likely not a person to care and re swedge the blades after breaking and reshaping them. Plus if it was a main blade it would have the nick on the mark side.

Think you may be right. Looking at other examples I have and on line of Walden era stockmans, it does look like what's left of a spey on the right and sheepsfoot on the left with the clip missing.
