We have for auction an original Western States Cutlery (Western ) fixed blade hunting knife & leather belt carry case. This is a nice vintage Western States Cutlery Co. knife! WOW!! You don't see the older ones like this. Nice high quality knife! We're not sure of the exact age of this one, but we think we can get you close with the research we did.

Made in USA". If you're lucky enough to see any Western States fixed blade knives of this period they are very, very well used. This one is quite nice and well preserved with lots of condition. We are unsure of it's actual age but this tang stamp as best we can tell was Western States Cutlery's 2nd style tang stamp used from 1928 - 1931, after the rainbow or bull styles used first. It is our understanding that the first fixed blade hunting knives were introduced into the market in 1928 shortly t after in 1931 Patent numbers wre added to the tang stamps. This one has no patent dates. T are good clear photos of the tang stamp(s) with enlargement capabilities. So we'll let the experts be the judge of it's age. Beautiful knife in any case. This knife has a 4 1/2" blade and measures 8 3/4" overall. It
