Just got this one, It's a 7in Kris blade Picklock Rosco in excellent condition. Does anyone have any idea the year it was made.

Re: 17cm Kris Rosco
Thom - that one looks superb. Sorry, can't help with the date, other than the obvious. My guess is that the bolsters looking like brass is just due to the lighting - correct?

Re: 17cm Kris Rosco
Very cool Thom! The 50's stuff really isn't my forte but I think you could put that one around 1955 give or take a year or so. Also think it would be considered a 7" knife or 18cm which was the smallest size kris made back then? (question for you picklock guys) Rare knife as you don't see many small kris like that.
Re: 7in Kris Rosco
Jim, They are nickel/silver bolsters. I took the pics inside, under yellowish lights, and I am not a very photographer.

Re: 7in Kris Rosco
I have seen many a Rosco's in my time,just asking is the top scale blue?.
Re: 7in Kris Rosco
I would say more grey/brown but I am slightly color blind. I have problems with certain shades of green/brown/grey.
Oh yea, I forgot to say it is D-stamped, 2 piece spring and full brass liners.

Re: 7in Kris Rosco
Thought it was gold plated at first...lol Nice one!
Re: 7in Kris Rosco
It is a beautiful knife. I think it has been rescaled.
Re: 7in Kris Rosco
Probably has, but I'm OK with that. Still a cool knife.
Actually, someone I know thinks he may have owned this knife before. I am waiting for him to find a picture. The back scale with that small splash of white should be easy for him to match up.
Re: 7in Kris Rosco
I wasn't knocking it. If a knife needs new handles it's cool with me.
