[/URL][/IMG] Hello everyone, I found this old case xx today. Can somebody tell me how old it really is? Would you bother to clean it up? All i can make out on the tang is case xx. The handle is almost smooth now. And it does not have the Case badge on it. Paid 5 whole dollars for it. Thanks.

Much better fit in the traditional forum. I bet they can ID it right away with some pictures. I'm sure the move over there will happen soon.
 
Sorry about that. Mods. Can you please move this to traditional s please? Pics added.
 
count the number of dots on the right hand side of the main blade and refer it to the traditional forum.
 
That's the tang stamp that Case used from 1940-1964. Sometimes they stamped the pattern number on one of the blades and sometimes they didn't.

Do you see any numbers at all on the tangs?
 
You can clean the blades up some with BRASSO. It might make it easier to see the marks.
Personally, I'd sharpen it up and carry it.
