We have met the enemy and it is the deluded belief that American capitalism is sacred and self-regulating. We also suffer from our deluded trust in the goodness of our fellow Americans which leads us to believe that politicians, elected officials and appointed public officials need not have any substantive minimum education or other minimum qualifications to be elected or appointed, nor do they need any limits on campaign donations, any age limits, any restrictions on serving as lobbyists after public service, or any limits on multiple terms in office.

    Hi Terry.  Another member suggested I check with you on this.  I put up a bblog post about a knife I was trying to fully identify.

    It's an old Russell that the seller said was a Civil War era knife.  I bought it but thought it was an old Navy Knife.  Couldn't read the etching on the bblade ut it looked like (Blank) KNIFE.

    Since then I read in a research book that the Russell Navy Knives have Cocobolo handles and mine has Stag.

    Then later today I found they do also have stag handles.

    So do you know anything about these Russell's?  Are they indeed Civil War knives?  Issued to the US Navy or what?

    Any info you might give me would really be appreciated.
