Vintage Model 16 Diver

[MrM1A1]

I was told this is late ‘60’s or early ‘70’s, but wanted to share here and see what more knowledgeable collectors have to say about it as I have no idea when it was made. It is used but not abused, and one of my favorite blades. Thanks in advance!

Post '72 as it has a lined lanyard hole, through to mid 80's because of the Johnson Rough back sheath.
This is about as concise as I can be, others on here will be more knowledgeable than I.
Hope this helps.

Yep, lined lanyard hole 72 and later, same with the inclusive S, 1972 and later.
Maurice Johnson sheath 61-84.
Double guard on a diver is cool! and teeth a plus.

This one is prob., 66-72 Separate S and unlined lanyard hole.
