Case hasn't pinned any shields on their standard line since the early '80s or so, as far as I know. All their current production knives have glued shields. Don't know about the semi-custom Case/Bose collab knives (don't have one). I'm pretty sure Queen doesn't pin shields either (in recent production, anyway). I'm looking at my Queen #49 Cattle King at the moment, and there's no visible protrusion of a shield pin inside the liner (scale), under the shield location. If I were betting, I don't think Boker would likely have them, either.
A lot more detail work is involved, in pinning a shield through the covers and into the liners, as opposed to simply gluing them into a milled recess in the cover material. As is evidenced with the GEC knives, that extra detail work adds to the cost.

Case/Bose are pinned.
I remember searching and finding some 'work series' with wood scales (covers) made by queen that said they were pinned. Someone please confirm?
Boker mine are all glued.
I want to know more about Buck's 300 series with the 'pillar' style shield.

As late as 2009, Queen was pinning shields on SFO knives. I don't know if it was offered since then to when the Daniels bought Queen. I'd think that if Daniels wants to sell first rate knives that he will pin the shields on all knives under the Queen thumb in the future.
