Don't know how many of you have Ruana knives, but I recently picked this one up on Ebay. This is an older Junior Bowie with the "R.H.Ruana" stamp but without the "M" stamp. That usually, but not always, indicates a 1980-1984 build. I have sent a copy of this picture to the Ruana shop for verification. The interesting thing about this knife is the parry strip. Notice that it not only goes along the top of the knife, but also has an "eye" next to the hilt. I have seen many Ruana's, but never one like this. The grind is also different that other Jr. Bowies that I have seen.
