Can anyone help me id this case folding knife? I've tried looking up the various stamps used over the years but can't seem to find an exact match.

I forgot to mention that in addition to the stamps at the base of the blade there is also an XX stamped into the middle of the blade.
 
It looks like an older Case Cheetah.
Fold the blade to half stop, and if you can get a picture of the full stamp, someone can probably date it for you. Case are pretty easy to date if you can see the full stamp.
 
The shield and the XX stamped on the blade lead me to believe that it might be one of the Case Classics that were made in the 1990's. If it's 5 3/8 inches closed it's likely a 1050L pattern. Also known as the Cheetah as mentioned above. Some call the pattern a Swing Guard as well. Under the "TESTED XX" on the tang there should be either a pattern number or a date. Possibly both.
