So the story is that one of these Buck 305's was given to me by my dad when I was somewhere between 8 and 10 years old (30+ years ago). I carried it to school every day and thought it was the coolest thing ever. I eventually picked up another one some years later, but I can't recall which one was the original, older model. I think the one with the brass pin, long pull, and swedge is the older one, but I'm not sure. The other one has a silver pin, nail nick, and no swedge. Does anyone know for certain? Much thanks!

(Sorry about the crappy cell phone pics!)



 
Thanks fellas - you guys are awesome... and fast! That was my guess too, mainly because of the difference in wear on the blades. But the shield and covers on the bottom one look more worn, so that's why I was confused.

Thanks again for clearing it up! Now if I can just find the third one that I have....
