Ed Holbrook, Official Scout Blades, says BSA # 1087, Mfg. # D2589B, circa 1933-1940. Coping blade has tang stamp CATTARAUGUS (in arch)/ CUTLERY/ LITTLE VALLEY. Tang stamp on master spear blade is illegible. 3 7/16 inches not including permanent shackle. Brass liner-lock for combination screwdriver/bottle opener/wire scraper. This blade has a brass horizontal thumb stud screwed or peened in to the side. Dark brown bone jigged handles show no wear or flaws. Pins, shield, bolsters and shackle are nickel silver. Although polished out, there really is no evidence of any wear anywhere on knife. $100 shipped This is a small loss to me.
