Judging by the openers, I'd say a "Standard" Officer's model between 1942 and 1946 They put a caplifter on the screwdriver in '42 and went to the lobster claw can opener in '46 Awesome knife!

OK, not wanting to make anyone mad and explaining that I can be a bit logically impaired how could the knife be from between 42 and 46 if they didn't go to the lobster claw until 46? Wouldn't that mean it's no older than 46 and possibly younger?Awesome knife by the way and wow, that awl looks like a needle! El Corkscrew your knowledge is amazing!

That means it is no older than '42.The Can Opener is the old stabby design, not the lobster claw. That means that it is no younger than '46.Make sense now?

I was assuming that can opener was the lobster claw style, so there in lies my disconnect Pretty sound evidence then that it was indeed made between those years.

What a relic! It looks in pretty nice shape for its age too! The tools look good, just the scales are a little banged up. Were they made out of stainless steel in the 40s?Enviado do meu iPhone usando Tapatalk
