I Got My Grail Knife

[Obsessed with Edges]

For what it's worth, I checked the one guide* I have (named below), to see if it delineated between the two versions of the 62009 1/2 Barlow. It does mention each as 'Master blade in front' or 'Master blade in back'. But it dates both of them simply in the 1965-1970 time frame, giving no other indication as to which was earlier or later. I included the pertinent page from the book below.

That aside, these are great looking knives people.

Well, bummer, it looks like we have to be content with the 5 year window. Thanks for the info, Bruce and David.
