Looking for single keeper strap sheath for 116 and 103 and BN's

[DLE60]

Anybody have any extra they want to part with. Also looking for leather spacer BN's for 116, 119, and 120.

Gonna be tough. Take care all - Dale

Hey Dale, long time no talk, I can't help you with the items your looking for, but I can say I believe the 116 came out in late 1962. That being the case there won't be a leather spacer 116. So I think you can check that one off the list. I may be wrong but leather spacers went out in '61 or early '62 with the bone hard fiber spacer configuration taking over until the end of barrel nut knives in 1963. Going to be tough is an understatement...

The closest I have is a Trophy set with a 116 and a 103 with a one line stamp and a single strap keeper sheath. That one was hard to find. I sold off a 103 barrel nut a few years ago that had a single strap keeper sheath and 5 BHF spacers. I kick myself every day for that one.

Model 116 Capers with leather spacers do exist but they are a tough, tough find.

I guess they caught the tail end of the leather configuration. Thanks Larry

Your right, the BHF spacers started in 1963. The 116 had it's debut in late 1962, so it would have caught the tail end of the leather spacer configuration.

Thats what I love about this forum, you can always learn something, you thought you new.
