Well, if Mr. Randall said it, it is the word. I have a picture that seems to show a translucent looking handle. Gen. Westmoreland apparently acquired his knife before mid-1964 which would correspond approximately with the date of the SS knife shown above ... which is why I was interested (there is one on-line post that seems to indicate his knife was an "SS" stamped blade but I don't know how reliable that information is).

I've written a letter to the family using my SF lineage to ask about the location of the knife and if it were possible to get a picture. No response yet. Still hopeful. Few more pictures of my delrin pair for those interested.











The original green butcher paper accompanies each of the knives and on the papers are hand writing shorthand notes describing the contents, and a price tag that reads "$63.00 + $6.30 = $69.30."
