All About Pocket Knives

This is just a question, not an accusation. I am not very knowledgeable about many of the newer, very creative Case knives, so please forgive my ignorance. Here is a Case 2-blade Doctor's knife up for sale on the bay. https://www.ebay.com/itm/CASE-XX-USA-62 ... %7Ciid%3A1

The tang is stamped "7 285 Solingen Germany" and if you look at the pictures in magnified view, the scales don't quite reach to the bolsters, which to me looks like typical celluloid shrinkage on an older knife or maybe a poor rehandling job. I've never seen a Case knife with the "Solingen Germany" stamp or "acrylic" scales. The auction description indicates: "UP FOR AUCTION IS THIS CASE XX USA 6285 SS DOCTOR'S KNIFE WITH CHIP AND CRACK FREE SUPER NICE TORTOISE ACRYLIC HANDLES" Also, the auction indicates is "SS" for stainless steel, but I don't see that on the tang stamps.
Is this one of the newer Case creations or a horse of an entirely different color? Thanks. Herb

The knife is legit

It was made when James Parker owned Case.
It's legit.

As others have said the knife is legitimate, but the handles are celluloid not acrylic.
The German made knives that I have seen with celluloid tend to outgas.

I had the goldstone version of this and it disintegrated.
The celluloid on these knives were very unstable.

I had 4 of the goldstone that outgassed, but I still have another that is in perfect shape. Go figure

Also made in genuine pearl.

Have you looked at it within the last few minutes?

When my goldstone disintegrated, it destroyed four of my best knives.
I've learned now to NEVER store a celluloid knife with other knives.
