Hi Stephen and welcome to the Knife Network!
Congratulations on your discovery! It's amazing what one can sometimes find in an "old box of stuff". That is an incredible Randall, with real historical significance!
Thanks Ron for the information!
Stephen, I hope you can trace the owner to someone in your family. As Ron said this will make the knife even more precious to you (unless you discover it belonged to a low down scoundrel...
).
Be very careful when cleaning it up. In fact, maybe you should consider just leaving it as is.
Thanks for posting it here!
Cheers!
David
