Which markings have you seen on Crawford Carnivores?

[IamMatt]

Those of you who own, have owned, or seen Crawford Carnivores, got a question for you.

Did/does yours have the patent number on the reverse side of the blade?

If it was a talonite blade, did it have a "T" for talonite on the reverse side?

Any other blade markings?

Thanks.

Mine doesn't. Pat once told me the only way to tell the talonites is to use a magnet. Maybe he marked earlier and later ones differently. You could ask him.

 

[IamMatt]

I did ask; he said in theory all the Carnivores should be marked with the Rolling Lock patent# but that he figures some slipped by; I was curious how many had the patent no and how many did not. Only one of my three does.

Interesting

Mine does not have the patent number on it.
