Dale, you're right, of course. I got in a hurry, the 25-5 Maple Burl was an AG Russell "Exclusive" not dealer special. I think it was limited to 200. I did not know that AG added the serial numbers on the Stag 5" AG Dealer Specials. They are on the top edge of the blade as you noted. What about other dealer specials like Buxtons, are they numbered at RMK or later? If so, why didn't the RMK shop number AG's dealer specials? Thanks, Bill.
