Just wondering about the maker on the bottom "oldie" - looks like some of the early civilian pattern SAKs.

This type of peasent knife was popular in parts of Germany, France and Italy as well. One Swiss maker still makes them. Judging by the bolster that one wasn't made by Victorinox, but that's just my guess.

Not sure how they pinned this type of shield to the liners, but, it is pinned. German engineering, I reckon. The bone color reminds me of Case's old red bone.
Fits nicely in the pocket slip Gary Graley made for me.

I like the knife and the pocket slip, Rob! Gary makes a nice slip!
Your comment on the pinned shield made me go look at the Boker Gents knife that I have, with a similar shield. It's pinned also. Interesting to note that the brass scale on the pile side is drilled to accept a shield pin also. Makes sense with that particular pattern.

My impression was that the shield on these has an integral cutlers rivet - so the shield would be held in place while the rivet end would be pressed back into the liner. (My photography skills and equipment are too meager to try to capture this on the inside of my Böker Barlow but that's what it looks like.)
 
I expect every knife to eventually have the pins show in the bolsters - I don't have safe queens, and I don't (yet) have anything fancy with bushings between the blade and the pins, so the pins always become visible over time. I've had these two knives for just a little over a week, and both the pivot in front bolster and the base pin for the spring in the back bolster are visible on both sides on both knives. Usually I expect this to take a couple of months. I don't think it's a problem, any indicator of quality issues, or even unattractive. I knew it would happen, I just didn't think it would be quite this fast. Still loving these two and will be carrying them for a while.

Headed to town shortly. Gonna hit the Post Office, Ed Staub & Sons Fuel Depot, the Wagon Wheel Cafe, the Holiday Market, and then home. Busy day gonna require a stout knife. This Scout Trapper gifted to me by John JohnDF JohnDF will fill the bill. Why I've used this knife so hard that the frickin shield has fallen out of the dang thing.:eek::):rolleyes:;) So much for the wonder of "pinned shields".

That makes sense. Serves the same purpose, and a step up from just gluing the shield.
