This Buck is a Model 112 Custom Lockback knife by Buck in 1988. It features a 3" mirror polished 420HC Stainless Steel Blade. The knife is 4 1/4" long when closed. The handles are made of genuine hardwood. The blade has a very nice gold etch: JOHN S. MOSBY - THE GRAY GHOST - 1 OF 250, and a picture of Mr. Mosby. This is an older Buck knife as it was produced in 1988 and only 250 were produced. It is very hard to find in mint condition still in the original factory display case. This knife is serial number 034. The serial number is etched on the rear of the blade 034 / 250.
The knife comes in a nice satin lined hardshell display case. The outside of the case is a gray velvet
The front tang is stamped as below:

112 - It has an upside down "V" thus dating the knife as a 1988.

John Singleton Mosby (December 6, 1833 – May 30, 1916), nicknamed the "Gray Ghost," was a Confederate cavalry battalion commander in the American Civil War. His command, the 43rd Battalion, 1st Virginia Cavalry, known as Mosby's Rangers or Mosby's Raiders, was a partisan ranger unit noted for its lightning quick raids and its ability to elude Union Army pursuers and disappear, blending in with local farmers and townsmen. The area of northern central Virginia in which Mosby operated with impunity was known during the war and ever since as Mosby's Confederacy. After the war, Mosby worked as an attorney and supported his former enemy's commander, President Ulysses S. Grant, serving as the U.S. consul to Hong Kong and in the Department of Justice.
