Ah yesssss.... Here is the beauty, well used like 45 year old Model 14s are supposed to be...and carbon steel rather than stainless, unusual that late when stainless ruled the jungle. This guy was deployed after 1970...maybe... I have less then full faith in cords and stones in well used knives, and the earlier green paracord looks very "gold" when weathered and faded. This one shows the shiny back of lots of sweat. Love it and will watch this auction with interest. Note the high peak on the "hump." Hummmm... carbon Solingen... hummmm
