Thanks Miles..

I purchased it from the original owners brother in law at a local gun show I did a few years ago.
I had no idea what it was so sent it to the shop for verification.Received a nice letter from Gary giving me the info on the knife.Now I just have to find it.

Jeff,
I don't know how many of these were done. Wasn't it associated with a skeet event that GTR used to have ties to? Old memory here, but I thought it had something to do with a trophy for an old skeet club or event??
Agreed Miles: Nice knife, Capt. Chris

found this: *Randall*
#12 6" Special
Carbon Steel
Brass and Red spacers
Stag handle
Gold Medal set in butt
JRB Sheath

Sent this down to Gary in 1995 for a letter.
He States..This is one of the Black Hawk Indian knives
that we made in about 1977. The group is an organization
of skeet shooters, and I believe we made about 110 pieces.
I have no idea who made the medal.

One of these knives was featured in the Stidham Sale Catalog.

How is the back of the sheath marked? 6, 12 6 or is there something special (BH, etc) for the model? Also, is the knife shop etched on the back in any manner? Thanks in advance for the education.

Thanks Bob..I remember posting that awhile ago.
I believe this is a high end skeet association and at the end
of the year they would present prizes to some of the members.
As I recall Gary was also a member at the time.
I've also been told that the medal is gold but I can't confirm that.Guess I should get that checked out.

No special stamping on the sheath just the number six.
I did notice that the stone pouch is just ever so slightly narrower and the stone is different no markings on it.

Jeff-n-Bob,
Thanks: It's good to know that..although old..my memory still serves me well (sometimes). I think the sheaths are, pretty much. #12-6", "Sportsmans Bowie" sheaths. Most of them that were sewn by Maurice Johnson only dislayed the blade length identification. The #12-6","Little Bear" had the capital letters "LB" on some.
I asked Tom Leschorn if he had anything to do with the medallion and he did not. I cannot advise as to whether it was shop-installed or an add-on furnished and assembled by the skeet club. Whatever is the case, it's a wonderful knife and is in most excellent condition!Best. Capt. Chris
PS: I also think I can make out the infamous "storage dent" on the stone pocket flap?? CCS

Sure looks like a model 5 blade grind to me, with a slight clip. Nothing like a 6" LB or Sportsman's.

Sheath also appears to be a model 1/5 sheath.
