Very beautiful!! It a very early model
The only thing I didn't quite understand is this: when brass spacers were introduced in 1989 to replace the colored fiber ones, did the colored ones continue to be produced for some time after that, or the fiber was completely replaced with brass and black spacers?
I copied this from the first post in this thread:
The design of this newly completed knife appealed to everyone, so it was given the name "Trapper" and added to the regular line as the Model 25. It was the only new addition to the Randall catalog during the 1980s and was first offered in the twenty-eighth printing of the catalog in the anniversary year 1988....
.....
About a year and half later, during 1989, another noncatalog style of this knife became available, which Gary termed "one with brass furniture." Here the knife had a brass hilt and thin brass butt cap, and the normal colored fiber spacers were replaced by ones of very thin sheet brass and black spacers. A Model 25 Trapper with brass furniture on the stag section yields an exceedingly good-looking knife. We should also mention that from the very first, this model has been offered with either a 5- or 6-inch blade made from stainless steel or the regular 01 tool.
