Ahhh I see.. Its pretty clear during the early 60s Randall shops makers were in a transition from the 50s.. In my opinion the mid 70s to mid 80s were not as many suttle differences.. I am sure there is a good answer for these differences from the early 60s.. But only a shop guy could answer that, however its CLEAR old practices are sometimes in a transition period. Hard core collectors fight that..h

I remember a forum argument over a mint 1968 or so Randall 18 with rivited rough back sheath non crutchtip.. Everyone said it was a mid 70s because the BUTT CAP had the short screws instead of the long screws..Everyone fought it said it cant be late 60s Randall 18.. Randall shop said it could easily be late 60s with a different BUTT CAP COMPASS or different sheath. so many things can happen..

Maybe that knife was reworked..
