By sniper standards that's pretty slow. :eek: I guess he should adjust the timing a bit on his program! :D :D

Oops!! :eek: :o At least I do it the old fashion way....sitting at my computer and waiting! ;) After a lot of trial and error I finally have the timing down (at least on those occassions when my computer isn't freezing up on me) :D

13 seconds sounds like a human bein' to me. I don't think it's snipping if a person hits submit.

You may be right Will, I usually consider the possibility of sniping when last second bidding is done on a regular basis. But then again I may be unfairly assuming it. :(

I don't have any production figures, but I believe it's the "etched" first version where they etched Buck onto the blade that is really scarce and hard to find.

I checked my source books, they give these figures:

Type 1 1963
"Buck" Stamped mark-700

Type 2 1964
"Buck" etched mark-2000

There might be some Type 1 (or first versions) that were etched around the year change, those would be REALLY rare.
 
are you refering to the stamping on Both sides or on the back side ..
i reacently (2 days ago) seen one stamped on the back and one stamped ont ethe front in the horz position... and one etched...
All 3 in one persons collection!
from what i heard - that the types ones had wuality issues and some came out with blades long and skiny... they were hand shaped so there was a lot of room for vearance
as there was a great demand for it very few were not sent out ....
they had some weakness in the back spring and in the blade being loose after hard use... the back spring was the reason a LOT of then come in for repair be4cause of it bending or giveing from pressure on the back of the blade thus it not only would not lock well adn would close on you it would not keep the pooint in the frame so you could get stuck if it was in your pocket.
many were jest re-placed and not fixed ... many today would have to be fixed to be a user even... there are a few who can still fix them ... it is my under standing that the back spring has to be newly made to fit in that newer ones wont work as is at all...
if Joe or one fo the others look in
how does some one tell if a sheath is from that period:confused: !
ie: sheaths from 63 or 64 or 65??? any clues on that from the buck ;) masters????
 
I'm refering to the stamp on what we would consider the "back" side, the opposite of where new 110's are stamped, with the stamp running horizontal with the blade spine.

I'll tell you one thing, that 110 with a "texas toothpick"-shaped blade looks a damn sight better...closed.... ;)

Yep! It looks great as long as you don't show the blade! :o
 
I thought I saw somewhere , that some of those first blades were thin like this one, to start with.

That could be but in this case, the seller even admitted that the blade had been sharpened and the blade profile reduced significantly. I believe that the blade profile, while longer and narrower than contemporary versions, would still have the curve in the blade as it meets the drop point. Sharpening will tend to remove that curve and I think that is what happened in this particular case.
