Is It Buck?

[Chicahiro Ishida]

I am consulted about a knife that was bought 15years ago.
No. is 432, no year mark.
Style is like #112 Ranger. 3"blade, 7 1/2"Overall.
Brass bolster and gripend, wood grip, Bucklock.

I dought that, paper box written "BUCK KNIFE".
I think it must Buck Knives?
In leather case, "GOODYEAR WRANGIBI(?) BADIAL TIRBS".

Is this realy Buck Knives product? if so, what is name?

Chic,
The first time i saw one of those knives i thought it must be a counterfiet! I did some research on it though and it is, indeed a Buck knife. We made them back in 1983-1986. We made about 10,000 of them and they ahd a sugessted retail of about $46.00 U.S.
You don't see too many of them these days.
I hope this helps.

This looks like a forged 105 to me and I compared it to one I have; that's the best I can do with the picture.
