There are inconsistencies in Pete's book. One of which would involve the example below. An Arkansas Toothpick in a Clarence Moore sheath.
Historical ref: According to Bob Gaddis and the Randall records, the 1st #13's came to be in April of 1953. According to Pete's book, a bit more generalized granted, Moore sheaths were used from the late 1930's into the 1940's. It is difficult to use the defense of "1st one in...last one used" for this Moore sheath. It could not have been "in" at all earlier than the early 1950's.
Safe to say, regardless of exactly "when".."THIS" is a scarce find! All the brass "tricked-out" fitting and hardware, along with an elephant ivory handle and a "no hone" Moore!
Enjoy, Capt. Chris
PS: I picked this up from a colleague and customer "after" the Gator show had closed on Sunday...and "just" before he left the show. ( I gave everybody their chance)!!!
