Here are two more knives from the Rendezvous. After some wranglin' and danglin', wheelin' and dealin' and huffin' and puffin', Lyle graciously allowed me to trade these away from him!!
A 3 3/4" Stag 4blade by Joseph Rodgers, and a G. Ibberson Sowbelly with SS-74 stamped in the liner, and pre-ban handles!

Whew - that Sow Belly!!!

It would be a shame to show a Stan Shaw like this one without the details! Here they are - his signature filework, and liner stamp typical from Ibberson.

Charlie- my mind has traveled there with that very thought.
I don't think that the knife has anything else done other than been cleaned - and done well I must say.- but in saying this - it's been cleaned!
I'm going to look at that etch again- although I don't need to but just to underline what I have seen - and then I may do just that and carefully remove the etch - because it's just not THE original. That will leave me with a cleaned knife I'm thinking at this stage.
I won't of course remove the Etch unless 100% sure.

philllll - you have a DE catalog my friend ? can you find this knife there at all? Possibly source the knife with the 1066 behind the Main ?
Thank you all for the comments - basically everything you guys have said is what I am thinking - great stuff!

Duncan, sorry for the delay my friend. I have a catalog, but it's from 1929. Your knife looks more recent than that. Very nice looking knife though, fake or not. I have a couple different ones that have a similar "look" to them that I haven't been able to pin down the origin or authenticity. I will try to get some pics soon.

Heya Philllll- Where ya been man!!!!!!!!
No problems- Im going to take off the etch- returning the otherwise great knife back to its pre-etched glory -in a way a shame to loose the etch- but it was placed there after the fact- so it needs to come off- then I will respect the Knife for what it is-cleaned - but a darned nice one!
thank you my friend.

 

[Campbellclanman]

Charlie- Man- that Sowbelly is a BUSY Knife!!! how cool is that- an Ibberson- WITH the famous SS initials of such a lovely man!
