Today when out with relatives at a antique store there was a 2 line 106, was because now it joins my partial collections of 2 liners, still need 107, 120 & 121

can any one tell me what sheath should be with it? I am assuming the rubber with Velcro is not original. Also about what date would it be, same as the other 100 series, '67 to '72. I see after some more looking that I was grossly mistaken on the value but for what it cost it will be a fine addition to the collection.
The 560 followed me home yesterday when I had no adult supervision. I have never ran into one before but found 2 yesterday029.jpg

Very nice additions. The rendering axes hold a top prize in my estimation. Love em.

Here's pics of where your sheath comes from and the leather sheath that, IMHO, is associated with two line axes:





 
Here is a repost of one I made in January this year.

If you are BCCI member, Joe Houser did a good review of the 106 in the March 04 Newsletter
Here is a brief summary..keep in mind that changes don't happen on January 1st so there are year overlaps.
Corrections welcomed.

1965 -1967 1-line phenolic handle, bone hard fiber spacers "HUNTERS AXE"
1967 2-line (USA added)
1969 spacers change to micarta
1971 black micarta handle, earliest are rare full wrap around with hidden tang
1972 3-line (model number added)
about 1972-1973 some burgundy micarta was used....??? (I'm guessing at this)
1983 handle changes to resin impregnated birch
1986 date codes begin
1993 last year in catalog..(for awhile)
1997-1998 reintroduced "CAMPERS AXE" 2" longer, birch handle
1999 black kydex handle, hang hole cutout
2000 black kydex handle, deer head cutout
2001 oak finish handle, deer head cutout (discontinued again after this year)

Thanks Oregon,
I haven't paid much attention to the 106 before I've only ran across one before and it was beyond my means. This one was available and I had some green left over, plus it fits into the 2 liner case.
I remember seeing your listing from January DeSoto, thanks for reposting it. I am a BCCI member but don't get a chance to visit it much. Limited on time mostly. I see your first one looks to be one of the chrome plated, very nice. Locally there is one of the phenolic handle 106 in a store but it is several hundred beyond my price range.

Thanks
DT
