Thanks, Augie; I don't have much mechanical skill, but elbow grease is something I can provide! 
Mark, I sure have felt the butterflies, and I kinda wish that I didn't! The butterflies and thrill of the hunt often prevent me from making an objective examination of a knife until I get home and start noticing a lot of features (usually flaws
) that I was too excited/nervous to notice while making a deal. 
Thanks, Dave.
I'm quite sure the girl scout knife has pinned bolsters (although I can't see the pivot pin on the bolster on the end opposite the bail), not the clip-on bolsters characteristic of the shell handles. One thing I noticed tonight when I got it out to check before answering your question is that the open main blade has no blade play, but when it's closed, it rattles a little bit from moving back and forth between awl and can opener. New phenomenon for me.
