What is it? Best guess?

[Plumberdv]

Just judging from these two poor photos, what version 110 do you think this is? Any guesses?

 

[Tin Sue]

With the three large scale rivets, stainless rocker rivet, and the non-radiused edges, it just about has to be one of these three: (1) 2 dot fifth version, variation seven, (2) 3 dot, or (3) 4 dot, 1st variation.

My guess is 5th version, variation 7.

I'm going with 4 dot...

 

[sitflyer]

I'm guessing 3 dot

 

[Plumberdv]

Turns out to be a three dot. It was for sure someone's user, but not that bad and worth the $20. It will go back to Buck for a cleanup with my next shipment.

 

[David Martin]

Plumber, I will turn out great. DM

 

[Plumberdv]

I'm sure it will David. I've sent in others that were worse and they came back looking great. I'll take some "before" pictures to compare later.

 

[Plumberdv]

I thought I'd add some "before" pictures for future reference. It's not the best, but worth the money IMO and worthy of a trip back to Buck for a cleanup.

Now to pick out some more to send in with it. I know I have a few around here that need some beautification.

Those are some nice looking Macassar scales. I bet it looks real nice cleaned up! Nice score:thumbup:

Thanks, I'm sure it will look great after some professional help. I like those scales myself and I'm looking forward to the new buildouts that have the Macassar scales.

The 110 and 112 were made with vintage macassar ebony inlays that I hung onto back when we made the switch from ebony to our current handle material. The blades for both knives were discovered in our parts archive."
