Estate Auction Knife

This is one I spotted at an upcoming estate auction near me. Should be called an across the room fake instead of Case Knife. Built on a Pakistan or imported frame. Blade has been restamped. Funny, but the shield looks original to me and also looks like it is pinned on? I think the shield is the only original Case part on the knife. They only offer 1 picture of the knife, but in this case that is all you need.

Interesting - I Don't collect Case but if someone modified the knife they did pretty good job ::smirk::

In saying that there seems to be something off about the knife ::shrug::

Nice example Bob. Stamps can be tricky but the size and location of this doesn't warrant any further examination. A XX stamp that takes up that little room on the tang is a bad sign. The angle of the straight edge of the rear bolster is wrong and the handle material looks like import stuff. Not a very good fake but I wouldn't be surprised if it collects some ill-gotten interest.

I've said before that I always want to like the knife before I like the stamp on the knife. I'm afraid there are too many people that just believe what they read. They read the tang stamp, accept it, and look no further.

There are several things that jump out at me, the placement of the shield and the shield itself doesn't match the tang stamp, (wrong era I think), the shape of the clip blade and the end of the spay doesn't seem quite right either. ::skeptic::

Nothing is real on this knife. the shield isnt real. The blades are not real. This knifes was made to deceive for the most part.

The clip is too stout and fat at the tang, not sure what's up with the scales (jigged to look like stag?), tang stamp placed too high, but I agree on the shield.
