For the record, I am not an expert. Hopefully one will speak up soon. In the meantime, I would say that you have a 118 from the 1963-66 time frame. Barrel nut with the bhf spacers. Nice find!

I agree with Midnight (although the pommel appears to be pinned, pic #3), a 118 Personal from the early to mid sixties. The sheath has BUCK stamped on the snap which indicates it would have been manufactured by Angeles Souvenir, roughly 1962-64. The handle construction with four fiber spacers, pinned pommel, and BUCK stamped tang would indicate 1963-1966 manufacture. My thoughts are based on what I gleamed from Mr. Oden's book. Another more experienced member may be able to offer more information.
