If there are any markings on the blade tang, post a closeup of them.
Maybe a "Punch Cattleman"?
I would have called it a "punch stockman", but that's an equal end and stockman is typically serpentine.
Looks like it could be a Utica, but that's more of a hunch.
the covers are solid.No markings......from the shape of the punch probably from the Imperial/Schrade/Kingston line up.
The covers are celluloid, are they solid or just wrapped?
Decent pictures that actually show stuff, not tightly cropped close up would be good, and not just links to the cloud. Inline pics are much better so nobody has to click on things to see them.
