Was Buck's Buckarta Westinghouse's "Old Yeller"

[gsea]

Was the micarta Buck used for it's 506 the old Westinghouse paper micarta or some other linen micarta? The Westinghouse Ivory micarta would change color in time like the 506 does. Curious if Buck used Westinghouse's Old Yeller or sourced from some where else. Below is Westinghouse micarta on a 317.

I don't know the answer, but the 506 sure turned yellow.

gsea, a very handsome 317, regardless of who's micarta was used. DM
