model 18 sheath on the left, Astro sheath on the right.
Is it me, or do the rivets on the 18 sheath look wrong? I have this in on consignment, my first thought was that this was not born a riveted sheath and that someone riveted it later to make it look older. (photos 1 through 4)
Second question:
Model 17 in on consignment: my first reaction was to think that this knife / sheath could not "date" one another, and that the sheath is older than the knife. (photo 5) Based on stamp, thick guard, squared off butt, etc... please share your opinions.
Unless, of course... you're going to call my knife ugly. (ahem... Stanaback!) Ha!
