Still no examples of Astros without scales. I know there have to be examples out there. The search continues.

Hi Sam!
You'll be pleased to know that I have one!
Below are photos of my only Astro which I picked up on eBay very early in my RMK collecting years, circa 2003.
Here it is before and after polishing:
Here's a closeup of the stamp:
Now I know you are really excited by this...
However upon closer inspection...
Yes, your suspicions are aroused...
ACK!!! It's a tiny replica in sterling silver!
On top of it all, I sent photos of this "knife" to Gary Randall to verify its authenticity, and he informed me that it is a "fake", not authorized by RMK.
The creator of this item remains unknown.
Sorry Sam!
Anyway, I hope you find a real one.
Cheers!
David
