Hello everybody!
I just receive a pretty used PST with dates 0501 on both handle who already has the big pliers head.
I will attach some photos.

A nice one and I prefer that style plier head when it comes to actual use for the PST series :tu: :like:

Very late to this party, I was trying to identify an old PST and ended up here.  Mine, bought at a yard sale some years ago for nearly nothing, is a little different from the first page listing.  It fits all the mid-to-late 80's criteria, but has the "Reg'd TM 1325473" of type 7 on the side, but an SAE-only ruler of type 6. Anyway, just to add it to the list.  This is a "door pocket" queen mainly, kept for emergencies, but rarely used, because I don't much like non-locking screwdriver blades.

A couple of quick shots of my PST.  As you can see despite poor lighting, it's in pretty good shape, though well used. I need to polish up the knife blade a bit.  It's moderately sharp, but not really up to standard.  The detail shows the TM and inch scale.  Note that  there also seem to be two different versions of the trademark stamp, and this one does not include "US."
