A partial guide to Case Shields

Case XX shields Below is a list of shields that have been used on Case knives. There are several that are not included -- Shields were pinned on bone and stag handled Case knives until the late 1970's at which point the company started gluing them on.

	Plain Oval shield. Used on knives manufactured from 1905 - 1915.
	Plain oval shield with pointed ends. Used by Case between 1905 and 1915.
	Arrow Head shield with raised letters. Used on knives manufactured from 1915 - 1925.
	Diamond shield with raised letters. Used on knives manufactured from 1915 - 1925.
	Bomb Shield with raised letters. Used on knives manufactured from 1915 - 1925.
	Bowtie Shield with raised letters. Used on knives manufactured from 1915 - 1925.
	Oval shield with closed C and block letters. Used on tested era knives (1920 - 1940). Case switched to an open C writing design in the late tested years.
	Oval shield with open C and tall S. Used on late tested era and early XX era knives.
	Oval shield with open C and block S. Used on late xx era knives through to the mid 1980s.
	Oval shield with raised letters and rim. Used on knives manufactured in the late 1980s.
	This arrow shield was used on some late 1990 knives. I have seen it on some three and five bladed peanuts (big nuts) and trappers (beasts).
	To the best of my knowledge, this shield was most prominently used on Case knives with rosewood handle scales in 2000 and 2001.
	A relatively new shield used on knives manufactured sometime after 2000.

I found this on the web and thought I would share--

Sorry about that link, it requires you to register. Seems like I tried it one time and I just remembered the login kept getting messed up, when it worked it was good information.

Ricky,

I just clicked on the link and registration was quick and painless. I just copied this to my favorites tab. There is a ton of useful info there if you are researching a Case knife, whether by shield, model #. handle material , etc. They also catalogue SFOs, too. Thanks, for the link, it will be a handy reference source to refer to when needed.
