My New Queen Folding Hunter-Carbon Steel

The reason i posted is because the condition is very close to mint and it's a 60+ year old knife. Almost all of the vintage Folding Hunters you see have been well used. Unused ones are rare.
Until now i've bought mostly used knives in good condition and i really like them. The app. 3000 folders i have, (USA being the largest group) gives me a broad perspective of the last 100 years, although even this just touchs the surface of the variety and variations that have been made.
Lately i've been collecting old Queens and trying to get unused examples in general. so when i saw this Queen Swell Center it filled both criteria.
I have a few (12 ?) current production Queen folders but the older ones are more enjoyable to collect and if you want, would make a very good EDC without having to reprofile any blades.

Really good looking big old knife there and in great condition. I was just about to ask "so where does one get this new Queen model that's done so right?" when I noticed that it is in fact a wee bit older and probably not on most dealers' shelves. :D
