That's what I thought you meant, from the context and all..... I was just hoping that it wasn't true....

Lol.Edwin Jay is 11 inch and the flatguard was about 10 3/4. Old flatguards were odd sizes. The flatguard did not loose it’s tip. The blade went to the end of the handle.

Why do all 3 of the automatics pictures have what appears as misaligned safety buttons. I have seen it so many times now that it must have been intentional, or due to the way they were manufactured?
Peace.

Re: 1930s flat guard purchase.
The older stilettos had safeties that was a piece of flat brass with a little tab bent over for the safety cap. When all the connecting area for the NS button was off to one side, they usually ended up with a safety that was more to that side than in the middle.NorthCarolinaDude wrote: ↑Mon May 30, 2022 4:57 am Why do all 3 of the automatics pictures have what appears as misaligned safety buttons.
