THIS IS A GENUINE (CIRCA: very early1920s) WINCHESTER 1920 PATTERN JIGGED COW BONE FOLDING HUNTER.

WINCHESTER GOT INTO THE KNIFE BUSINESS IN 1919 WHEN THEY PUCHASED NAPANOCH CUTLERY CO., NAPANOCH MADE THIS SAME PATTERN PRIOR TO WINCHESTER’S PURCHASING THEM, THE JIGGED COW BONE SCALES ON THIS KNIFE ARE FROM THE NAPANOCH SUPPLY, THEY HAVE A DISTINCTIVE SLANTED JIGGING PATTERN THAT IS DIFFERENT FROM THE LATER GENUINE WICHESTER FOLDING HUNTERS OF THAT ERA.

THIS KNIFE IS JUST UNDER A CENTURY OLD!! THE CONDITION IS FLAT OUT STARTLING. I’M SURE THAT OUT THERE IN SOMEONE’S COLLECTION THEIR IS A MORE PRISTINE EXAMPLE OF A WINCHESTER 1920, BUT TRUST ME THIS ONE WILL “BLOW YOUR COTTON PICKIN’ SOCKS OFF”!!!!!!! MY PHOTO SKILLS WITH MY PRESENT “ANCIENT” DIGITAL CAMERA ARE PATHETIC, IT IS NOT ABLE TO CAPTURE THE MINUTE DETAILS, SUCH AS THE CRISP “WINCHESTER” ETCHING.

THIS STUNNING WINCHESTER 1920 PATTERN APPEARS UNSHARPENED, THE BLADE LOOKS 100% FULL TO ME, IT HAS SOME SCATTERED LIGHT SCRATCHES AND FRECKLING TO BE SURE BUT THE EYE APPEAL IS AMAZING. REALISTICALLY YOU WILL NEVER FIND ANOTHER EXAMPLE THIS NICE, AND IF YOU WERE FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO LOCATE ONE IT WOULD BE PRICED WELL INTO THE 4 FIGURE RANGE! THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE SERIOUS CONTENDERS FOR THIS KNIFE KNOW WHAT I’M SAYING IS TRUE. OBVIOUSLY THERE ARE NO CRACKS OR CHIPS ON THE SCALES AND IT’S TANG IS PROPERLY MARKED FRONT AND BACK. NO ONE CAN PREDICT WHEN A KNIFE THIS RARE, IN THIS CONDITION WILL COME UP FOR AUCTION, BUT I CAN SAY WITH ALL HONESTY, IF YOU WANT IT, DON’T MISS OUT BECAUSE YOU MIGHT NOT GET ANOTHER CHANCE IN THIS PRICE RANGE. I’VE BEEN SERIOUSLY COLLECTING SINCE 1977 AND HAVE OWNED SOME VERY  VERY RARE AND PRICEY POCKET KNIVES, AND WATCHED THE PRICES EBB AND FLO OVER THE DECADES, THIS IS THE TIME TO BUY THOSE RARE KNIVES!!!!!!!!!!!!!
