The "story" is bullshit at best and confusion at least. They appear to have the hallmarks of Howard's sheaths. Clayton Howard -Randall sheath maker, contemporary w/early M. Johnson. R54.... I'd love to hear more about this line of thought. It's new to me..... _________________________ Always, buying, selling and trading. www.randallmadeknife.com

Gary_Clinton Knife Enthusiast Registered: 08/03/08 Posts: 34	Joe, Ron and Tune: Very interesting thread. Started me thinking and looking at similar knives. On the attached photo I tried to pick several brown button model 1's from the same general era. I always thought it was a given that if the sheath was marked with Randall on the back it was a Johnson. Now, after looking at these I'm not so sure. See if you can guess what sheath is a Heiser, what is a Johnson and what is the bottom sheath? I'll show the back sides in a little bit. Gary Clinton Attachments ------

From the top: Four Heisers, a JRB and I'll go with Tunes guess of a Stockman for the last. Ronnie, Thanks, but I think I'll pass: _________________________ Ron Mathews RKS No. 4223
