Is this Rogers bone?

[flyfishrman]

If not what is it? Got into a discussion with a buddy about it today, but since this is one of only a few older slippies I have I don't know much about the older bone. Thanks for your help and sorry for the poor pic. If you need better quality to answer let me know and I'll try to repost some better pics this weekend.

This is what I call Late Rogers Bone. Yours looks to be common Case jigging.

This is what B. Levine said about mine.

Unless you can prove that this bone came from that factory, it's just Blind Speculation.

I have never seen Rogers bone that was dyed red. But there are many things I have never seen.

dpzr - whether that knife is rogers bone or not, you need to send it to me. Many of its buddies live here, so it wouldn't feel out of place.
