I am very anxious to write up the history of a certain knife that I have. Got it in 1966 and have great sentiment for it. A good source of information recently claimed it is a Western W49, made in Colorado. On the blade is etched "REMEMBER THE ALAMO" and a year date "1836". Rosewood slabs. Could I possibly be helped in this forum to get more information on this knife? Seems the blade is chrome vanadium tool steel. Questions I would like answers to:
What does it mean when we say it is a Western W49?
What did this knife cost new?
Was it sold with a sheath?
What is current value?
Were many made?
I would greatly appreciate any and all help!
