W777 boot knife???

[sgt.strawberry]

For about a year now, since I retired from the us army, I've been unwrapping, cleaning up, cataloging the huge amount of knives I collected over my 33 year career. I'm stumped on one here: It's a boot knife, a Western 777 (tang reads: Western, USA 777, stainless, M). Now I know the history of how Camillus put this model into their own production after aquiring Western.. But this is diffent than the other original Western W77 I have. the handle is a diffent color, perhaps entirely different wood. Also: The one real quick way to tell an older Western from a new Camillus Western is the way the tang forms a V when it mmets the grind marks... The Camillus ones have a straight border between tang and blade. This 777 I have does not as pronouced V... although it is still a V. Soooo... what do I have and when was it made? Is this a 'Western' knife or perhaps a 'Western-Coleman'?

Thanks for your help...
