Joe,

We can sit at our computers all day and night debating the minutiae of a single sheath you posted, but there are much bigger fish to fry: How do you explain the gap between the sheaths documented going back to 1960 with the Randall stamp on the back and Gary finding Johnson in 1962? We're not talking a few sheaths or even a few hundred sheaths but thousands of sheaths! And we not talking a few weeks or a few months gap but a few years! You know Gary pretty well: Why don't you give him a call and ask him if he thinks he made a mistake about the timing of finding Johnson by a few years and let us know what he says!

Here's photos of my earliest Johnson BB sheath. Note:

1. The stitching difference between it and the many West facing logo BB sheaths.
2. The keeper placement.
3. The East facing logo.
4. The lack of edge tooling on the sides of the sheath.

A lot of people are going to be looking back at this thread for a long time. For the life of me, I don't know how you can put your reputation on the line as the new "Randall Authenticator" over an issue that is a no brainer based on the evidence that has been presented in this thread!
