They are just the old original pre 1970 red spacers.

They are just the old original pre 1970 red spacers.

Thanks, I was curious 'cause I know they are hard fiber, but, the ones I have seen and have are tan/brown. So my question.

Yep, same ones. The sunlight just makes them look lighter.

I recently saw a set of Empress knives that had been in the sun for years, in their wood holder.

The red micarta handles had all faded to an attractive brown color similar to burlap or wood, except where shielded by the base. That part was still maroon.

Thanks, I'll sleep better tonight

75th Anniversary Blade without the handle badge nor the 75th sheath. I assume they had a few blades left over and used them in the early part of the following year. The packaging is not dated.
