I'm pretty new to older Case knives and I'm trying to determine the approximate year of my 11031 SH rope knife. I believe it is a 1940-1964 or older because it has the CASE with XX underneath tang stamp.
My main question is about the shield? Is this considered a tall "S"? If so, then I'm pretty sure this means that this knife is an early 1940-1964 version. What does early XX mean? 1940-????. Any insight you can provide would be much appreciated.

Driften, that may just be the prettiest peanut I've ever seen.
