Interesting 98OT Old Timer

[Bhunter]

Just recently purchased this knife and I opened the blade to find a Mink engraved on the front as well as some file work done on the backstraps. After some research I found that the mink engraving matches the blade of Schrade Parker-Frost contracted knives but I've never seen one on a old timer or the filework. It also has a different Old Timer shield and is numbered on the front right bolster of 074. Any information on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Congratulations on receiving a put-together, maybe by employees at Schrade during the hectic days before the bankruptcy sale. You got a real honey! I think that it is great!

Cant tell size- is that like a 34ot with something on the blade and back?!

No, its like a 897UH with the old timer handles. Just a tad longer than a 34ot
