Case 6207?

^^ The shield stamping was a trend that was more common in knives made in the 70's and/or 80's... But even then, it was not always certain that your delrin clad knife would have an oval-less shield. What's even more interesting about the OP's knife is that it looks like there could be one brass pin and two steel pins, though it's hard to tell for certain from the pics...

I checked it and some of that dried varnish/glue on the handle was coating that pin, it's steel. That stuff flaked right off the handle but is really stuck to that pin...never did get it all off.
 
Here is my 1975 Case 6207 in jigged, brown Delrin, the blades have picked up some pitting, but the action of this knife is still superb; it has the pen blade secondary of it's era and the main blade is pretty wide. Under it is my 2011 Case 6207 in Pocket Worn Old Red bone - this one has a full length spey blade like it's modern kin, and the main blade is fairly narrow. OH

That's beautiful!
Mine's just like this one and 1 year younger. It's cool to see what mine used to look like. Thank you OH!

Too bad my blade was broken, it still walks and talks great! These are fine knives!

Do you know off the top of your head how long that main blade is? Mine's just over 2 5/16" now.
 
You are welcome SAK. If I set the ruler on the top of the bolster, with the blade fully open, it measures 2-3/4" to the tip of the blade. OH
