It seems close to the stamp but not exact. Any thoughts? It is another fairly useless chart in regards to older knives. Some bad info there. The first mark, second row was used during the era where Kinfolks made all the hunting knives for Case and that was I think the square pommel makes the knife post WW2.
The chart doesn't show the serifs which it really should to be accurate. This stamp would be correct for a square pommel Case knife from the late s-early dating. There are no Case hunting knife stamps that have been proven to begin or end in and I doubt any did. After WW2 Case used several different marks on their hunting knives, none of which correspond to any Case folding knives up until the knives. Yes those then were made before any real info was available.
Who buys Case knife collections? We do.
Back then a lot of people thought the hunting knife and the pocket knife markings were the same in the same time knives which they are not. A lot of folks seem to think Case was making fixed blades early on but Brad Wood thinks they didn't make any before or maybe even The fact that the Fergusons didn't include serifs is a little disconcerting, but then again perhaps they didn't see serifs on stamps as an important feature.
However, even I can see that in addition to not having sheriffs all of the pres stamps in gsmith's table are dissimilar from the original poster's knife in that none of them have the A contained inside the C. None of the post-WWII - stamps on the linked page do. I'm not questioning your expertise, just trying to learn.
How to determine the year a Case knife was made.
This kind of stuff makes me reluctant to try sorting original case knives out of the counterfeits on eBay. Matching its tang stamp and shield was easy.
It's available as an e file but I can't say where. Not much money, I think I paid 15 or 16 bucks, use it all the time. The author of the Case fixed blade chapter, Brad Wood, who gunsil made reference to, didn't provide any dates on the early stamps.
His opinion is no one knows for sure when they were used case when they stopped being used. Get the file, you won't be disappointed if you're interested in Case knives.
Brad Wood has done a lot more research and knives discovered a lot of facts since that Read more book was published. I'll have to bug him to make a new chart.
