Here is Tony's first muskrat, almost 3 7/8" with D-2 blades, dual springs, half stops, and long pulls from the mid 80's.

It is 3 1/4" with D-2 blade and spring, long pull, dovetailed bolsters, and cattle bone handle. Tony used to get raw cattle bone from a place down the road in Hymera. He'd boil and process the bone himself and, judging from the way this bone held up, he did a real nice job with it. From the early '80s. Check out all those pins!:eek:

and Freddie said, "I'll take it" when this one came back home. This one was made in the late '80s. It's a half trapper and has ATS-34 blades and springs. The bolster has what we call a "Cattaraugus Flute"(basically it is straight, doesn't follow bolster radius) Long nail pull on the blade.
