Thanks to @prom52's current post-milestone give-away I found an old FF knife of interest. I had previously mentioned that I found and came to this site while researching a Federal Marshall's auction which featured a number of knives, many of them Fiddleback. I wound up missing the auction due to work issues and subsequently bought several pieces from that auction via negotiation with an eBay seller.
I had also told a friend of mine about the auctions - he did purchase a couple of those lots. After he received the knives I got to see them - a couple of them got my particular attention, but having no background or history with respect to FF at that time I didn't think anything more of it.
@prom52' give-away prompted me to go back and learn some FF history based upon the questions he posed. At present, I am certain I have 11/12 of the questions that were posed, answered - and have a good educated guess on the 12th. While doing the FF research, however, in one of the threads I came upon this:
I realized that this is one of the knives currently in my friends collection. He knows I love Damascus type blades and I've already spoken to him about obtaining this piece. Will let you know what happens.
