The pics George posted are pretty good. I will get more but now hoping a pro will chime in as to where this thing was made and maybe by who. I think it is one of Frank's 60's pieces.

Re: (Arrived)Looking For 11" Swinguard White Pearl Handle

She's a beauty alright. I wouldn't say mintish as that to me is like a new piece. This is better than that as it sure appears to be straight outta the 60's and being born in 1960, that makes it even more special. If there are any pros on here that can identify where this knife came from, I'd sure li...

Re: (FOUND)Looking For 11" Swinguard White Pearl Handle

Thanks for asking :wink: I will get some good pics taken and post them once the knife arrives? I think George mailed it off to me this week but haven't got the tracking info yet. I spoke with him just this week and he said he was mailing it so stay tuned. It looks like a nice one, if I remember he s...

Re: WTB 9 or 11 inch swinguard

Are there many 9" Swinguards made these days besides the AKC versions? I don't find my 2 AKC's all that "snappy". I can't really think of any other brand in the 9" variety at the moment. Dang Chris, I must have got lucky with the 9"AKC White Pearl I just picked up. The thing is ridiculous and just ...

Re: Help Needed (Real or Knock Off??)

The AKC arrived today! What a serious little snapper it is and minty too. Wasn't thinking 9" but I really dig it and the white pearl looks great in the light. Wish this site was easier to post pics. Still waiting on the 11" from George and betting that will be my favorite..just because it is out of ...

Re: Help Needed (Real or Knock Off??)

What a collection. Just waiting to see how nice the knife I just bought from George is. I know I am sticking with white pearl only.

Re: Help Needed (Real or Knock Off??)

I went ahead and bought it. Now I have 2 coming this werk. Crazy right?? This hobby CAN be "crazy" lol. I, myself, don't know whether I should be admitted to a psych. center or rehab for my addiction. I had saved for the Walt's Classic. When they took too long to arrive, I spent the money on other ...

Re: Help Needed (Real or Knock Off??)

Thanks, and I do now believe it is an authentic knife. Not sure it will make its way into my hands as I do like quality and the 2 swingers I own so far are very nice. I think the piece I bought here from George will fit right in, so I'm sure next week I shall see. This one I still may make a play fo...

Help Needed (Real or Knock Off??)

GEDC1388_zpsujxbpoxw.jpg AKC and not sure if it is a Chinese copy or not? If anyone can tell from the picture that would help. It's only a 9" and after picking up an 11" custom and now have another 11' older Swinger on the way from George, thinking a smaller White Pearl handle might be cool? Any he...

Re: Looking For 11" Swinguard White Pearl Handle

I got a message from George and he is fine. I will be speaking with him today and probably make the deal fly. Sometimes we all need to be patient and not assume that someone is not serious when they post as life can throw curves our way and take us in unforeseen directions on a no notice basis. (sur...
