Russell Barlow

[R.Russell]

Finally scored me an old saw cut Russell at a very reasonable price. Just wanted to share a couple pics and hope someone chimes in with a little info on its age. Working on my photo skills guys so bare with me.
Hope everyone is having a nice Sunday.:thumbup:

That tang stamp was used from 1933 to 1941 according to Goins' Encyclopedia of Cutlery Markings.

 

[R.Russell]

Thanks Elliott. I didn't think it was that old. The action is just buttery perfect.

 

[Blues]

My pleasure. Just wait until you sharpen and test the steel. (Assuming you do.) It takes a wicked edge.

 

[R.Russell]

Yes sir, this will be a user... need to straighten out the edge on the pen blade to boot, so off to the ol' oil stone.

That's a nice one! I was told by an older Russell collector, that the clip blade is a little more rare than the spear blade version. Lots of blade left there!

That is so sweet. Blades are pretty full. That is going to make a great user!
