From what I"ve read we need to be a little careful about judging brown micarta on color. In those days, each batch had a slightly different color and how the block was cut, with grain or across grain, made a big difference in the appearance. We know brown micarta was being used in early 1960s on the astronaut's 17s, possibly earlier. Have seen in on a knife supposedly confirmed dated to early 1959...not sure though... Also, this knife could have been rehandled at some point though there is no visual evidence.
