I have this unused Old Timer 69, my question is, is it a imported Schrade, it doesn't have U.S.A. stamped on it just Schrade Old Timer on the master clip point blade, and 69OT on the opposite side. The bar code label is still on the blade and is called a "Old Timer Prem Trapp" It is a well made heavy knife. If it is a Chinese made knife it is a well made one. Thanks,

Terry

Definitely an Import. If it doesn't read USA, it ain't!

If there’s no USA then it’s chinese (and not really a schrade in my opinion). Nothing to do with the quality of it, but a schrade is a schrade because of where it’s made.
Old schrades (you could say true schrades, due to them being made in the original Walden or Middletown factories) don’t have USA stamped but they do have Walden NY. That was back when US made was a given. An example:
