WESTERN KNIFE MARK DATE

[ROBERT357]

I have observed Western fixed blade knives with the following blade mark..... (WESTERN/ BOULDER, COLO/ U.S.A) ..... Can someone please tell me the years this mark was used.... I have the sheet showing all the Western marks..... This one is not on the sheet.....

Just seeing this thread/question. Without any pictures, it's just a guess, but since you didn't mention a model number, but with that stamp, I would say "Look at the guard - I bet a model number is stamped on it." If so, that would put it as 1967 to 1972. 1967 is when model numbers shifted from the pile side ricasso to the guard and starting in 1973, reference to BOULDER, COLO, was dropped from the stamp composition.
