They apparently got all the parts (handles) in the purchase John.
Making light of a very rare Texas stamped knife, because I have one too.
The Sucs. is abbreviation for successors, as the partners had bought out Moyes. It was required by MEXICAN law to be identified such, as this company had a location in Chihauhau, Mexico. Interesting Co. with more history.
I don't know who made North Shore's , but I'm pretty sure Challenge made my farmers jack.

Wow, some incredible bone on display today, guys.Got this one in the mail yesterday and found immediate pocket time. Something about the Dwight Divine bone at one point in history that made it stand out more than others. I have not seen many D.D. scout knives that weren't either Boy Scout or Girl Scout related so I had to scoop this one up It's more of a junior scout at 3-3/8" long and the scales are only 9/16" tall.

Very good advice, but I think I’m going to just retire it and keep it like it is as a remembrance of my father and his lifelong practice of improvising to save money. (At the time he was using this knife his job involved repairing equipment which had very small screws and he probably saw it as a way to let the knife do double duty.)Headwinds, I would see that Tip to keep snapping off if used as a Screwdriver, preferably the knife needs to be Re-Tipped- that done and you will have a very nice user.
The only old slipjoints I own the stag is a utica and the buffalo an ixl Sheffield I don't know anything about them but I'm guessing they are fairly common ?

Thanks for your reply the stag is a utica and buffalo is the ixl iv found out it may be from the 1920s .as for the utica I won it in a photo competitionStephen, those like they could a couple of nice old knives. I assume the stag is the IXL? No one can tell you anything about them, other than they are pen knives, without more pictures. There is quite a bit of interest in both Utica and IXL knives on this forum. I have added your original picture to this post.
