Here is what I think I know

Gordon Cooper owned an Astro. (that’s an easy one)

Bradford Angier. Model 5, 6” carbon steel blade, old style square top nickel silver single hilt, black micarta, compass and thong
 
Thanks I found this picture maybe a model1? I did not know he was Australian or that he died so young.

My wife bought me a Chelsea ships clock for a wedding present. It looks like the one right over his head. 970F3075-DE15-466C-8D43-91DDCD7DA62F.jpeg

John Carroll ( Flying Tigers movie, and many others) #1-8 special order, Guy Clark, dad's Springfield fighter, Robert Stack, original #4-8 double hilt custom fighter IIR..... the pattern for Randall Knife Society club knife #4?
 
I just ordered my “Bradford Angier” tribute knife.

I thought it would be fun to have it engraved with his name.

The order was approved, but they added “The” to the engraving. I guess they didn’t want me trying to steal his identity? I guess understand why, it’s not my name.

I don’t mind, just thought it was interesting so I’d thought I’d share it. I’m thinking of ordering “The Westmoreland” next.

Ross Allan,had a model 5 also.

Cool idea eveled!
Maybe you could have "The Zacharias" Model 1
Or "The Cooper" model 17.
Maybe something from these as well?
"The George W Ingraham" -Model 18
"The Litch Steinman" -Model 8
"The James Jones" -Model 16
"The Tommy Thompson" -Model 11
"The Ward Gay" -Model 20
These are just those I can think of now,but no doubt there is more.

Thanks. The idea was why I started this thread in the first place. To make sure I had the details right.

I already have an Astro but not engraved “The Cooper” yet.

Next will be “The Westmoreland”

Then maybe “The Powers”

Thanks for adding to my list!

It’s a tricky thing to nail down the details on some of these knives. You can’t do a tribute knife with just the Model, you need to know what options.

Conversely if they had a no option knife it seems silly to make a tribute.

Good to know they were Randall owners. What models? I’m guessing plain Jane model 1’s? Kind of hard to build a tribute knife. Without the specific details.

Thanks for the replies.
