"Old Knives"

My grandmother has decided to move back to New York from Florida. In the bottom of a trunk that belonged to her dad I found this old Robeson. The blade has a bit of side to side play, and it had some red oxidation that I buffed off with some 0000 steel wool and hoppes gun oil. The action is still excellent, and it has beautiful (at least in my eyes) jigged bone covers.

My modest 22:s collection
Just put on new G-10 scales on the latest find. 2blades, file and corkscrew. Unfortunatly the MOP was cracked to much to save, but it turned out ok :)
 
Wunderful work Barbababa :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Beauty of a GS too.

Thanks for compliment, Lloyd. :thumbsup: They just don't come around often, must be part of the reason they are valuable :)
 
Couple added recently, a relic stag Empire Senator, 3 1/16", blades are full but it sat closed for 100 years and rusted.

Other is a curved stamp 3 1/2" Schrade Cut Co sheepsfoot jack, first Schrade curved stamp I have been able to find. Nice addition to my sheepsfoot jack collection.
