I saw an older Buck Caper without a model number today. It had the Black phenolic handle with red spacers and no sheath. Can someone give a date range on this one. I am not a straight knife collector but do have a 119 and 120. This one was pretty rough.
 
Without more information, I would guess before 1972.

Bert,
Thank you.
It had 2 lines on the front Buck with USA below. The USA would designate that it as made in 1968 or later? So approximately 68 - 72?
 
In 1967 Buck added the 'USA' to the stamp. Then in 1969 the spacer material was changed from red to burgundy micarta. DM
 
David, Thank you for the info. That really narrows it down.
