Edit: After taking a more informed look at it, I went ahead and bought it.

I know that there are counterfeit Randalls out there, so I'm hoping you guys can tell me if this Smithsonian is authentic or not. I saw it at a pawn shop yesterday, for a great price. Now I'm in love.
My main concern is the stamp. It looks a little "light" to me. I think every stamp that I've seen is deeper and darker.
What do you guys think?

She's a beaut! I'm glad you got her and that is a heck of a great price. Any idea on when it was made? The sheath looks like an older style but I'm not familiar with the Smithsonian knives.

Thanks. I'm not sure on the age. Someone suggested 70s/80s, but they didn't say why.
