Earlier today I had conversation with Jim Sargent, His words to me were "I'll guarantee you that knife on page 235 is a good knife".Indicating the 6265LP in the lower right corner He went on to say he'd seen 2 or 3 others. Also that he would look around and get back to me in a couple of days.When I learn something more and I can spread more truth I will. Yay for the little knife!!!!!

Tony Foster explains the existence of both knives saying they were both mistakes...one in the WR era one in the tested era???? Hmmmm now my curiousity is really peaking as I am thoroughly unsatisfied with this explanation..and will pursue the topic further...To quote Micheal C. in the movie..."I try to get out and they pull me back in"..Onward with the quest.

AS I SAID EARLIER I TALKED TO FOSTER AND HE SAID IT WAS BS AND A MISSTAMP...I TALKED TO THE GUY I GOT IT FROM ..A COLLECTOR WITH 50 YRS EXPERIENCE...HE POINTED OUT TO ME THAT ON PAGE 97 OF SARGENTS 7TH,TOP RIGHT PICTURE..SAME KNIFE OLDER STAMP SO IT WAS A PRODUCTION KNIFE AND NOT A FREAK...i'VE GOT A EMAIL IN TO JIM SARGENT MAYBE I CAN GET A REPLY AND SOME GOOD ANSWERS...THANKS FOR YOUR INTEREST I'LL KEEP YOU "POSTED"

That 6265 and 6165 were both large frame knives first production was prior to 1920 in Bradford. I didn't think the blade was changed. It's been indicated to me knife is worth somewhere in the neighborhood of a lot,  Good day and my regards.................

 My knife measures 3-1/4" long it has 2 blades one pen like and another some longer but about the same style. Both blades are tang stamped with the tested 1920-1940 stamp the longer blade has 6265 with XX stamped over it. The handles are a redish greenish bone.(excuse the scientific color description) The shield shows a closed c.On page 120 of Sargents 7th edition, he shows a 6165 large frame hunter with a 1914-1919 Bradford production date. Now if that's true then the mystery is, WHEN WAS…
