That was "also" Gail White's trademark, at least one black spacer.
Also: On the T&B with red & blue laminated micarta, 6 options as follows:
* Stainless
* Thumb notches
* Red & blue spacers
* Red & blue micarta
* RH finger grips
* Wrist thong
The hilt looks brass to me. Both the Model #8 and Rod's #5's are killer-cool!
Best, Capt. Chris
