Here's another one I picked up as part of a trade. As I recall, it was purchased back in the 1950s basically as a gift from father to son. The son (I'm sure we can all relate) kinda messed up the knife "sharpening" it etc. I don't know what it cost or what it's worth.
Interestingly, it's pretty stout - OAL 5 3/4 in., blade 3 in. and the spine is a full 1/8 in. thick. The guard, spacers, stag and pommel are all tight as can be. Even the sheath leather is much thicker than I would've imagined. It's pretty neat acutally. Otherwise it would appear to be your basic good quality souvenir knife from fifty years ago.
