Just picked up this Keen Kutter K2881 3/4 barlow, matches up exactly to the Camillus Tip Top barlow including cover material. I'm thinking it was made just before WW2.

A classic in every way, Paul!

I posted this pic in another thread recently (and elsewhere earlier this year when I picked these knives up at the OKCA show in Eugene), but they deserve to be shared here in the Barlow thread, too, I think.

Don’t think I’ve posted this one before but it is by far my favorite barlow. Hibbard Spencer Bartlett one-arm with all the stamps filed off (not sure why) except for the pattern number (754). Keeping my new Remington bullet company today
