Toting my older (old script)Buck, 503, USA .. Think that dates her to 1967-72. Scales are in dark brown micarta. Shaving sharp.
A 503 with burgundy micarta scales and old script stamp would date from 1977 (introduced) to 1982 (birch scales introduced in 1983) according to the catalogs.
Got my 1999 Buck 703 stockman in my pocket today. Just touched up the edges with my old soft Arkansas stone and I'm ready for the day.
I still have an older 503 as well. I'm very pleased you still carry her! They are tough little knives to be sure.Nice choice. I still have and carry a nice little 503 that I got from you several years ago.
