Question

[Makael]

What years did Buck forge their blades? Here are some old stock and I know most but can anyone identify them?

 

[David Martin]

That's fantastic you got a photo of those.
Top to bottom: 120, 105, 118, 102 and 103.
That is information unrecorded in Buck history.
However, I have a strong suspicion the forged blades stopped
With the asterisk stamp, '*'. Making it early 1967. DM

Wow, what a wonderful collection Mike. My thought is the same as Davids.

I have nothing of value to add, other than thank you for sharing these fantastic pics.

I have never seen this before.


Very cool!

Those are cool. I would keep them just like they are. Mount them in a display alongside a finished set.

great idear there.

 

[Makael]

Thanks for the great info. The 103 came from a plastic bin at a Gun show in Post Falls. The bin had $2.00 each in black marker on the side. It was full of a bunch of junk but I recognized the 103 profile.
I think mounting them with the new version counterpart is a great idea.
Thank you

The seller did not know what those were...
I would love to stumble onto something like that. DM

So... does Makael qualify as a Blind Pig?

Mike could fall into a cesspool and pop up with a rose in his teeth. He should buy a lottery ticket.

Great finds can happen anywhere. But often they come up from living in the Fairy tale land of the home company. The rest of us hoi-poloi, just don't see items like this. DM
