Doug,

What you bought was "Linen Miacrta" that may or may not have been made for Westinghouse. The micarta that Randall used years ago was "Paper Micarta". It does look very similar but, is not the same material.

It will still make a very nice handle. I also think that you paid a hefty price for it. I read the fellers write up on the block and he indicated it was like the shops "Antique Gold" which is a moderately close description.
