Excellent! Imperial Schrade held the copyright on "American Eagle". You can find those numbers on the COSRUS site. Then go to USPTO TESS search and find those numbers. It gives the dates of first use in commerce. May 22nd, 1969.

The four earlier ones

Thanks, Codger! That is very helpful and rounds out the discussion somewhat. So, I am thinking maybe 1972/73 for the second run of those three fixed blade knives?

Good question. I don't have an answer unfortunately.
