Hi everyone, first post. Tried earlier but it didn't seem to work, let's see if this one works. Just got an LB7 via eBay for less then $19 including shipping and tax. It's a 4 pin, tang reads Shrade+ USA LB7, serial number is G17055. All the steel is in excellent shape, as is the wood. But the brass is a bit banged up. It had a thin strip of leather about 2.75 in. inside apparently to prevent to blade from hitting the backspring. Would anyone know if this was a factory item? I'm thinking not, but it leads to wondering if the blade edge hitting the backspring was actually a problem?
