Hey L lambertiana -
Thanks! That’s exactly what it is…and the pattern is R1823. Made around 1935…promotional giveaway in exchange for gum wrappers. I’ve seen…passed on, and then kicked myself for not picking up the “Baby Ruth” candy bar version last summer. That one had a cool shield.

🤔 Nah, I ain’t virtually toting it !
That lanyard hole really has to go 😁

Honestly, I kind of dig the overall shape/profile of the handle and the blade… but the questionable pin placement and the lanyard hole through the end cap really stand out as “AI not understanding things” haha.
