The " Roosters " are crowing for the " Farmers"

Sorry. Upon further review the match was not there. Must do further comparisons.
 
Ain’t nothin like it!

Man I just came across this thread and I'm loving the GEC 38 Orchard Gem's. Anyone here know where I could find one of these?
 
I'm hoping GEC does a run of these again! Such cool knives. I love perusing the photos of these, made me want to try and score one. Lyle's in ebony with bar shields look fantastic. I love Charlie's orchard gyms as well. What was the pull on these blades like? No half stops correct? Thanks!

This is the only one that I have Taylor and it has No Half/Stop on either blade and I would rate the pull at 4 or 5 and I can easily pinch open the Main Blade and it has Steel Pins and Liners . Wish that I had a couple more of them .

Thanks Harry! Those are some great Jigged covers. Thanks for the info too!
 
Got a couple to add. This Southington is a smaller version like the Holley,Schatt and Morgan,and A Fields I have. I suspect these were early American versions of this pattern, although the bone on the larger framed Southington I have, seems to be an earlier example of jigging? I guess it could be they just made two models ?

This knife looks to have never been used much ,if at all.The point on the pruning blade has been dulled off from opening and closing ,I would think.
3 3/4" jigged bone Southington
