2 of HSS's Coricamas have steel bolsters, making them very late ones.
Both of the knives have early-style buttons and safeties, though.

I have seen several of these that came through South America.

I don't think Coricama had members per-se.
While Coricama did manufacture cutlery, they also brokered for many makers in Maniago. I do know of one big display stiletto marked "Coricama" that was made by Lepre.

Lepre was the outfit that made many of the Italian folding bowies.

They were a US importer that was involved in The Maniago cutlery business. They contracted from many makers. Lepre was...

I could be wrong on the date. There hasn't been much change in this model in a long time. It's a G.O. Massaro made knife. Nice Italian utilitarian knife.

I apologize, but I really feel we should leave Metalgod's posts up here for a while, so that everyone can see what a nice, stable person he is.

Apparently, there is a lot you don't understand.
