Joe,

I agree that Bo's description fit's Brian's knife in general, but it doesn't explain the spacer stack or the sheath to me.

Here is a better photo of Brian's stack:



I don't have a close up of Tune's stack to compare. There's a sticky thread at the top of this forum on how to post photos. If you're not able to figure it out, then just send me the photo by e-mail and I'll post it.

Agreed the blade "could" have been in storage. It also could have been forged and made into the knife with a period sheath we see prior to 1942.

On the sheath: It seems more logical to me that when Moore changed sheath designs, he didn't go back to an older design. He made each sheath to fit the exact knife. And he could have just as easily made a sheath in the new design to fit this knife if it was made in late '42.

I can't explain the hilt. In my scenario it should be oval.

I would much prefer to be in sync with you than argue with you. If the stacks stack up, then I'll apologize and thank you for contributing to the thread.

PS: Your comment about jealousy is laughable as is your blame game. Enough already.

Ron
