Early Black or Brown Micarta? Thoughts?

was told brown, think black. Any input?

I have a couple of old Brown. Neither of them has any "black"
streaks" like yours show. My guess it is not old Brown.

Here are 3 knives with unlined thong-holes showing black and brown micarta. Left: black 14; Center: black Solingen 15; Right: brown 14.

It's brown, or you can sell it to me as black!

leaning towards early black. Either way, it'll be on my site in a day or two.

One of the original US Border Patrol 14's going up, too. No, wait... Border Patrol 14 gone gone gone.
