Very interesting history.  Probably not many knife companies or collectors have that much history going, well maybe Case.  Keep it coming.  Thanks

Hey Ron,

Not real clear about the reason behind the GREAT WESTERN blade etch. I can tell you it was only used on the 7267 (Moose), and 7367 (stockman) patterns with the elongated spey blade. I do not find them in my 1950 catalogs, but I find them both in 1955, 1960, 1961, and 1967. So this blade etch was used circa 1955-1967. The catalogs list them as having "stag" handles, but mine look like jigged bone. See pics for my 7367 and catalog pages from 1950 and 1967.

Hey Guys,

  The Great Western etched Bokers go back to at least 1928. I'll look some more as time permits, but here's a picture of one from Boker's 1928 Catalog.
