I bid on this mostly out of curiosity and was quite surprised when I actually won it. I don't recall ever seing a Camillus Tip Top Barlow with ebony covers and red enamel letters on the bolster stamp. Its a solid knife, the blades have snap and the main blade has a 4-line tang stamp and a nail nick which doesn't seem unusual for a later Tip Top based on photos I've seen of similar knives. I suppose it could be a "parts knife" but it seems odd that someone would create a knife that's so different from its predecessors unless they just wanted something a little different as a one-off custom.
Regardless, it's a nice knife and I like it - at the very least I now have something to post on Wooden Wednesday. I just can't find out anything about it and was hoping someone here might shed some light on whether it's a production knife or a mod.
Thanks
