1940-65 CASE Fixed Blade Hunting Knife with Sheath, Stag Handle

Older Vintage CASE Fixed Blade Hunting Knife w/ Sheath, Stag Handle. Early CASE stag handled hunting knife and leather sheath. Nice shape on the sheath - snap closes tight, no cuts to the leather, all stitching tight and complete. The knife is solid with old school construction using 4 pins on both sides to hold the handle slabs tight. No chips or cracks to the stag noted and none around the pins.

Typical 1mm or so gap between the slabs where they both come together on top and bottom. The red and black spacer bands are in good condition, as is the aluminum end cap. Handle is tight, no wiggle or play. Blade is in good condition and has always been properly sharpened, without any gouges or oversharpening to alter the blade profile. Both the handle and the blade are in nice shape, with the normal wear expected from about 75 years of use!

It has a 4 inch blade and is 8 1/4 overall. Overall condition is Good, no issues noted. Note the unusual blade style, particularly the swell on the top. I have not been able to find another one anywhere.
