Is the Cripple Creek a recover? I’ve never seen a jigged bone CC barlow before.

Yes , it is a Recover done in Reportedly Culpepper Bone . The recover was done by a prior owner .Is the Cripple Creek a recover? I’ve never seen a jigged bone CC barlow before.
Very nice my friend . I would rather have been able to fine a Sawcut like your's , but the Culpepper is O.K. . Whoever did the Recover Omitted One of the Four cover pins . I now wonder if mine has a Blade Delete ?????Yeah, I was wondering that too. I have both of those, but my covers ain't as purdy as OEs.

Edit: My Cripple Creek is a double blade, so technically not the same model.

Dad had one of the Delrin covered Barlows , but the only ones that I saw for sale were the Plastic Shell model . Dad eventually lost his and he bought a Plastic Shell model and I now have it .Most of my Barlows are saw cut, because when I was a kid back in the 50s, the only Barlows available were the "saw cut" delrin kind that we could get at the hardware or feed store for about $3 or 4. So I just have it in my head that Barlows should have saw cut covers.![]()
I seem to remember reading somewhere on BF that bone handles had three pins and delrin handles had two. Don't know whether there were exceptions.View attachment 1506826
Top one. Boker, could never tell if the handle is bone or plastic, I think bone.
Oh , I like that very much my friend . An Original I would think .
