I find no logo, marking or stamps anywhere on the knives. The sheaths are the original eagle brand. If anyone will be so kind, I still would like to find a time frame on these 2 knives.

Ikedoc,
Nice score and one great start!!! Oh, and you can believe Mulder for I've seen his collection. He is a Busse Old Bagger guru...
 
Thoe two models happen to be the first two Busses I ever owned, also. (I have acquired a couple of more since then.)

Mine were purchased directly from Busse in 1994, if that helps with the dating.

Nice knives.
Still waiting on a pic of the Mean Street.
The larger knife is a Steel Heart 2 also known as a BBSHSH (Birds Beak Straight Handle Steel Heart) and "Ducci" is the resident expert on those.
Your's is most likely A2 as there are verrrry few confirmed INFI models with a Birds Beak pommel.
The shorter knife is a Badger Attack also known as a SHBA (Straight Handle Badger Attack).
Yours is most likely A2 like most of the SHBA's with smooth bolt fasteners.
Any other questions just ask.

I suspect that one or maybe both of these knives are infi and will post the results as soon as I get a chance to do the gun blue marker test on the leading edge. Probably needless to say, but I confess my piglet / greenie knowledge on these Busse knives. The reason for no pics on the Mean Street knife is that I thought the Badger Attack was a Badger Attack Mean Streets. Why? when I got the knives home and inspected them, I found a hand written piece of paper under the velcro flap of the Eagle sheath on the Badger Attack. The paper reads,,Busse Mean Streets. I have since revisited my source and have purchased the Mean Street. The mean Street is of the same era with the smooth slotted bolts, is a fatty and from my gun blue marker test, confirms to be infi. I will post some pics of the Mean Street when I get a chance to snap some and will also post more info on the pair I orginally posted here. Thanks to all you guys here for helping me to touch the tip of the iceburg here in educating myself on these Great Busse Knives! Regards, Dennis / ikedoc
 
Good snag! A real good chunk of Busse history there.
Poor things though, all cooped up behind glass, just dyin' to get out and cut the h*ll outta somethin'!
 
Where in the heck are all these coming from? I need to start putting snout to ground and root out some of these old ones before they see the light of day!
