Model 571 is listed in my copy of KA-BAR Outdoor Knives brochure #30 as a fixed blade hunting knife with a leather handle and stag butt. I was available in 4&1/2", 5", and 6" blades. If yours has the pattern number on the front side of the guard it is an early knife from the mid-late 1920s, if not it was made from the late 1920s to the mid 1930s. The 71 pattern hunting knife was named "Pathfinder". I hope this helps.
