Guys,
I am unable to date the Imperial jack in the photos below. I checked the charts posted but I don't find this one.
Anyone have any clue as to the date of manufacture?
Any and all help is appreciated.

Re: Help with Imperial Tang Stamp
Nice knife Ray! The tang stamp is certainly an oddball. I checked all of my sources and did not find that stamp. I dig the blade etch though! 
Sorry I can't be of more help.

Thanks, Randy. Sorry for the poor quality of the photos but we have company in the house so I got thrown out of the bedroom I normally use for photos.

Well, that get's it down to 40 years, 1960s - 2000 or less.

Re: Help with Imperial Tang Stamp
No problem. I always liked that blade etch, and have a several examples of the variations between the Imperials and the Schrades.

Re: Help with Imperial Tang Stamp
I wonder if this one is from the same time frame? Seems to be a well made knife.
