The top on is cleaned up and promised to my Bro-n-law. I wish I could more accurately date the mfg date, but the tang stamps put both of these knives between 1974-80. Is there a date reference for the handle pins? More pics:

The bottom one would probably tell horror stories of how one of it's foster parents re-pinned it's pivot with a 1/8" brass rod instead of the proper 5/32". I have already got the pivot pin out and will pick up a 5/32" rod today at lunch. Poor thing was nearly beat to death, the bolsters are marred and scarred. Original owner's initials are engraved on the other side. I will probably do some custom file work to hide that. I use the term "Custom file work" loosely.

Not a bad deal.  I am sure you can make that bottom one look great in no time Brad
