Hi Jack,
Great acquisition and great write up (as usual). Your Model 3 chronology looks right to me. Note: It was a bit of a shock to me that the sheath for the my low S 3-7 was a year or so earlier than the knife! I had never really "looked" at it other than knowing it was brown button. Here are pics of a few more of my Model 3's from the same era:
3-7 with some military provenance. Heiser sheath with a horizontal Randall stamp:
3-6 with a fighting hilt. Heiser sheath with a vertical Randall stamp:
3-6 with a Stockman sheath:
3-6 with a finger grooved laminated brown Micarta handle and a Heiser BB sheath with West facing Randall stamp:
3-6 with a Heiser sheath circa 1959 (The 2nd time the shop and Heiser ran put of brown button snaps! The 1st time was ~1950). Note that I have two of these sheaths and BOTH have the keeper at the far side while being "marked" for a keeper hole in the middle!
Best,
Ron
