First up is My mint Challenge cutlery harness jack, no cracks in the ebony scales, the odd speck on the blade and the punch.
Well centered,Slight gap between the punch spring and the center liner at the blade end, see pic. Master is marked, punch is marked both sides,makers mark on mark side of both blades,US patent with number
on pile side of punch. Original glaze on both blades Never sharpened. Challenge closed in 1928. I and others believe the knife to be right in every respect.
Here is what I think. The knife was a second IMO. The mark side bolster rat tail groove is wider at one end and tapers to the blade side.
The shield is beautifully inlet but the shield has one rounded wingtip. I have seen this same shield on two other Challege knives.
According to the man I bought it from it had spent 40 years in a british collection, was sold to a dealer who sold it to the chap I got it from at the Oregon Knife show a few years ago. I'll throw in the deerhide sheath. I Hate to let this piece go. SOLD shipped and insured.
