A Shot in the Dark.

The blade looks full. With a couple of pictures from that distance, no telling. I have done a few one or two picture bids and been lucky. It will be nice to see the year. The price wasn't bad for box, sheath and knife. Good Luck!!
 
Thanks.

Since I don't go to casinos, I figure this little bit of gambling can't break me.

I'm guessing it's a mismatched group anyway but the knife could have dots.

:)
 
Amazing!!!

The Shot in the dark pays off!

Can you believe it?

It's a Three-Dot Finger Groove (a rare beast)........and a very early one, I'd guess.....meaning the black sheath is probably correct?

As a bonus, it's one of those with the dots set real low, at the bottom of the lettering.

And all papers included.

My luck (or intuition) never fails to amaze me.

I guess I must just be living right!

:)
 
ugh ... k-nock on wood der mr bg42... i sure hopes ya intuntion holds up a good while...
hummm... me thinks i might start gambling...
y0wser ! jest think i could win once in a while !
 
Don't try to kid us.

You called this as a Three-Dotter in your cryptic post just above and the only reason I got it is because I was lucky enough to see it two minutes after the Buy it Now showed up.

Udderwise.......you'd have it.

:D

Picture soon. Quick cleanup.
 
Here it is!

Now I have a family of FIVE 112 Finger Grooved Three-Dotters.

Never thought I'd get a group like that together!

:D

You were really lucky on that one, BG! One fine looking knife, don't know how it looked at first but your clean-up made it look fine!!! Very nice collection of F/G 112's.
 
Yes, I remember a few years ago when somebody was wondering if a Three-Dot finger grooved 112 even existed.

My, we've come a long way from that.

Yeah, I would have given it a one in ten chance, actually. :)

It looked pretty good at first. A little verdigris and other light stains. Took about ten minutes. At least a couple of these will go to Buck for the spa treatment at some point in the future.

Bad news, the box is not a finger groove box. Sheath is in good shape, but would be a more likely match if brown. Otherwise, all good.

:)
 
Congratulations! That's a very nice catch and a great looking set of 112's you got there BG42.
 
Thanks. I guess I did get a deal.

I just checked completed auctions and I see that a well-described finger-grooved 112 Three-Dotter went for $74 a couple days ago.

Didn't look to be in the best condition, either.

I wouldn't have a single one if I'd had to pay that kind of money. I just don't have it.

:)
 
Nice but useless to me,My hands are too big for the 112,i'd be wrapping fingers around the edge all too often,pretty to look at though!
 
These will just sit in a display case anyway......they've cut their last fingers unless I get careless when rearranging them sometime.

:D
