Vintage Gerber seeking information

[CampingSurvival]

Good afternoon from sunny NC!

I have recently come across a vintage wood and brass handled Gerber. It is tang stamped with "Gerber" on one side and "Portland, OR 97223 U.S.A." on the other. It has straight back blade and is manufactured in the classic Buck 110 Hunter and 112 Ranger style. Lastly, this particular Gerber has the Westinghouse logo stamped in the brass under the Gerber tang stamp.

As many of us who can really appreciate these tools, I was taken aback because I have never seen a vintage Gerber. Honestly, I didn't know that Gerber had a "Back in the hay day" as I discovered Gerber through their early LST and Multiplier lines while growing up as a Marine in the 90's.

Any information anyone can provide is much appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Nice I just recently found my dad's sportsman 11. It's got the other blade shape but they are very well built
