It's 11"dark horn with a small piece missing at the end bolster. The blade is kind of scratched up and loose, and the slide lock is missing the cap. I am going to send the knife to Bill for the lock and blade work. I am really happy with the it as it is my very first 1960's knife.

Looks good Scott and I'm so glad you sound very happy! Congrats on your positive purchase. I just know you'll be even happier when it returns from Bill's. Keep us posted!

Thanks guys, and yes it will be better with cap and blade tightened up. Thats's probably as far as I am going with it in fear of losing the worth of it.

Good decision to bring it back without going over the top.

I am going to try to not buy anymore, though it is tempting as all get out. I have six and thats probably good enough for me.

I've tried to "not buy anymore" and failed miserably. I can't resist temptation. Six is a good number but don't settle for "good enough". Get out there and spend you savings, emergency account, children's college fund and the money you have set aside to bury you. I'm sure you can do it just like the rest of us have. LOL.

When you start stinking someone will cover you with dirt so keep buying those knives.
