Tune, Sweet knife. Question, you state it as a 1943 example, but I thought it has a Bill Platt type thong hole. I thought Bill didn't start until Jan. 1944?

I read a few threads that gave the 1/44 date. I also saw a VL&A Model 1 fighter that had the same WT and a Randall stamp some 3 inches from the hilt. It was described to me as a 1943 because of the placement of the Randall stamp. I personally have no clue, just trying to figure out the upper pommel drill hole (WT) and how it dates a knife.
