***SOLD***
Case XX USA (no dot) 62052 redbone half congress (this one may be more correctly called "pretty bone") - made 1965-1969. It's 3 9/16" closed with a 2 3/8" sheepsfoot main and a 1 3/4" pen blade. Blades have original mirror polish with only some light blade rubs - they're the old CV carbon steel (note that the "lines" on the blades are scanner artifacts - my scanner won't properly show hollow ground mirror surfaces). Scales have no chips or cracks -- back scale is a couple shades darker than the front - the difference is not as apparent to the eye as the scans show (scans are showing the front a bit brighter red than is actually is). Great firm snappy action with totally tight blades. Never used, never carried, never sharpened -- never "cleaned" or messed with. No box.
Asking $85 (was $95) -- PayPal instant payment only, fee included; USPS Priority Mail included - US only.

***SOLD*** Case XX USA (no dot) 62052 redbone half congress - made 1965-1969. It's 3 9/16" closed with a 2 3/8" sheepsfoot main and a 1 3/4" pen blade. This particular example has a Case XX era shield with the tall round S, so likely was made early in the period. Blades have original mirror polish with only some light blade rubs - they're the old CV carbon steel (note that the "lines" on the blades are scanner artifacts - scanner won't properly show hollow ground mirror surfaces). It has gorgeous, very well matched redbone scales - no chips or cracks (note: the scans show them as a bit brighter red than they actually are). Has a small area of the backspring to one side that is just a hair lower than the rest and didn't get the same polish as the rest - hard to see or feel in person, but shows up clearly in the scans. Great firm snappy action with totally tight blades. Never used, never carried, never sharpened -- never "cleaned" or messed with. No box.
Asking $105 (was $115) -- PayPal instant payment only, fee included; USPS Priority Mail included - US only.
