I was very lucky to score an old school Busse SHBA Proto (confirmed by Jerry) at Blade this year with the help of a couple of old HOGS! This has the old chem etched logo and a parkerized finish. It is like new, Jerry was surprised at how nice the condition was. It is also hollow ground which Jerry said he did on very few knives. The blade is .187" thick ( I think Mulder just spilled on his keyboard!!) and has a bit shorter handle as you can see in the comparison picture with a regular SHBA.

Great score, I really liked seeing how much of a difference there was between the proto and production!!!
 
Oh, i do love the older Busse's! Very nice thanks for sharing, at least i know they're hiding somewhere in my state.
 
These are awesome history to see, especially for a new guy like me.

I'm a poet and I don't know it.
 
That's a cool old school Shba Randucci, goes quite well with your Mistress. Great score, :thumbup::thumbup: and if you ever get tired of her you've got my email addy right. :D:)

Was that on a dealers table? or did you root that out from some deep hole?
