Thanks Lori for the work that you and Wally do.

Cap - if that is a leather tie, it appears the tie is going thru a hole in the toe of the sheath.




Not that I recall seeing.


I do seem to recall a clearer photo of the knife. I can't really remember for sure.

Wally,
I apologize for not having any photos but I made a pair of Model #1's for a customer back in the mid 1980's. "Both" knives (1 in 6" & 1 in 8") were special-ordered with "C" style sheath as well as "reduced hilts". Both sheaths had "handle-wrap" keeper straps. One, BTW. was tight-stitched and one was not! I have ordered 1 or 2 more over the past 4 decades since...but scarce, to be sure, they are!
Hope this helps, Capt. Chris

With the picture quality being what it is, nailing the sheath down may be just wishful thinking. Does the position of the stone pocket tell us anything? Anyone think it's a 6 inch blade?

We need "Larry W" (or one of those "engineer types) for this one. Using a ruler and comparing the handle length (which should be 4 3/4" or so) to the blade length of the sheath leads me to a 7" knife. Of course: Your mileage may vary!
Hope this helps, Capt. Chris

Could it be a model 5 with a 6 inch blade?? You know, like the one General Westmoreland carried?? After all, the General did give it to him.

Wally,

Found another pic, this one looks like it has a wrapped handle to your earlier point.

And yet another with Westmoreland.

Might be a 6", depending on where the point of the blade bottoms out.

Steve's analysis jibes with my eyeballing the length: It looks as if the blade would be 6-inches.

As they used to say where I worked: "That's good enough for Government work."
