Do the FGs look normal or too shallow?

What's the Joe Houser take on the origin of this knife?

As far as odd 112's.. WE NEED TO KNOW!!!! Joe, I seem to remember 4 years or so ago you commented on non standard annie 112's ...Can you tell us whats out there? Thank You!

Joe said this:

I had never even heard of a brass framed 25th ann. 112 until BG pointed me to this thread. Catalog #8080 was a run of only 2000 done in 1991 according to the computer archives. The standard 25th was in the catalog for years so there were quite a few more of them.
The sheath on that 8080 is very unique. I believe that is what we called a heat stamp on the sheath flap. Very cool!

Bucksway and ME should have remembered this.......I guess we really ARE getting old (well, me anyway).
