I'm always researching different things about the 110. Today's question is about the V3V9. If you do have a V3V9, and can get to it easily, could you look down inside between the frames and tell me what spring you have. Most common through the other years of 110s are the round springs. Some early year variations had a square spring, but those were integrated with the spacer.
If you do have a V3V9 with a square spring, could you post a snapshot of the spring, as well as a snapshot of the blade logo? They don't have to be perfect, just have to be able to recognize the spring is square. Just looking to identify if the V3V9 variation all had square springs, the photos will help serve as proof. (note: the V3V8 and V4V1 have round springs)
If your V3V9 does have a round spring, send those snapshots too. In my own collection I have four V3V9s and each have a square spring.
I have read through so many different items, but cannot find any reference as to why the inverted BUCK/USA was located on the right side tang, as pictured below. After seeing these in my collection all having a square spring, it might be why the stamp was relocated to easily identify the spring modification on returns.
Thank you for taking the time to read all of this.
Here is the link for the photo. If that's not allowed let me know. It wouldn't let me insert the photo directly.
