Hi Ron,
Thanks so much for the information helping me date the knife. The article about Von Lengerke & Antoine Randall Sheaths was very helpful (lots of other interesting articles there too).
I'm going to try and find out more about where the knife came from. It could also have been my mother-in-laws husband's or perhaps his older brother. She's still around so I can ask her.
Would like to clean it up just a bit without doing any harm to the knife or its collectability. Is there an article you'd recommend I read about how to do that properly. I've restored and repaired all sorts of old tools -- but it's always been to use them and sometimes to make them work even better than original -- never any thought to collectability. That's not the approach I'd take with this knife.
