Marble's Hunter with Blade Etch

[sceva]

My first Marble's knife. As a member of the OGCA I couldn't pass it up. It dates from before I joined
The knife appears to have some decent stag and a Brass hilt / pommel instead of aluminum.
From the spacers it appears to be year 2000 production so It's Mike Stewart era and should be a good one. I expect it is 52100 steel but not certain. The overall length from the listing is 8.75" The Blade is nicely etched with the OGCA Logo.

What I THINK but am not sure of Model : I believe this s a Campcraft however I've seen Campcraft listed as 8 3/4" and 7 3/4" so I am not sure which is correct.

Can anyone add any other info?

Really nice knife. I understand why you couldn’t pass it up.

Does anyone have a 2000 Marble's catalog they could scan pr photograph? I realize thgis particular knife won't be in it but I am still trying to verify what the actual knife model is.

I thought I might know the model, now I'm not sure.

I was finally able to get some info from the OGCA in the form of a scan for the brochure.
I'm told that they believe there were less than 100 made.

I wonder about the serialization; mine is No 0727 which implies a lot more than 100 but knowing later OGCA offerings I think I believe the 100 number.

I also see the illustrations show a one piece stag while mine is pinned stag, I prefer pinned so no issue.

Does anyone know, did Marbles serialize their SFO's in separate blocks or perhaps just started each group where the last left off. also. pinned vs solid, did it depend on the stag available?
If I had a way to e-mail Mike Stewart I would ask him.
