If you're right, Rocky, then my 1960's Model 14 may not be worth very much. I had two Randalls with me during both my Vietnam deployments--this one and a Model 1. I wore the Model 1, and did not use this 14 (that's why it looks so good today). Later I lost the split-back sheath to mildew and rot from wet-floor basement storage, so bought a replacement sheath (as you can see, small rivets and not a split-back). For dress-up, I asked Greg Gutcher to make me a new splitback with large copper rivets.
