Joe...and everyone,
The knife was acquired in Danang during my friend's 3rd tour. When he returned home he had his good friend, Pete Hamilton, re-handle, re-hilt, install the special (B&W)spacers, brass butt cap, wrist thong and the Westinghouse ivorite (Ole Yeller). This was all done in house, at the Randall shop, my friend paid Randall Made Knives for the work and it was totally "completed" in 1972. The story about this...and a whole lot more...is in "KNIFE KNEWS"!
Best, Capt. Chris
