Schrade Collectors

Many people collected Schrade knives over the years. Almost everyone had to have a Schrade. Much has changed, but they still make Schrade Knives and now they are coming out with new steels and new handle materials.

So old fan or new collector, Lets talk about Schrade!

Trying to Determine Age of an Ulster

I was gifted an Ulster Barlow.
The tang stamp on the mark side is two lines:
"ULSTER
KNIFE USA"
The pile side of the main has a "10" tang stamp. I presume the "10" is the pattern number.

I have been told the Ulster over Knife USA stamp is post 1941.
I would like to narrow down the age a bit more.
As you may know, there is not a lot out in web-space on Ulster Tang Stamps.

Does anyone know what years Ulster used this tang stamp?

Thanks in advance.

    I wish I could post a picture of it.
    If it helps, the bolsters, liners, and back springs are all steel, and have a patina.
    The blades are carbon steel. There are no tang stamps on the secondary pen blade.
    I believe the covers are saw cut Delrin (or whatever Ulster called their Delrin), not bone.
    The "ULSTER/KNIFE USA" tang stamp is all caps, block font, and straight, not arched.
    The bolsters are stamped
    "ULSTER
    >>-------->
    BARLOW"
    in scrip letters.

    I can email a picture, if you like.
