    Description

    Here is a rare Western Small Shark Knife measuring 9" overall with a blade length of 4.75". Blade retains nearly all of it's original brightness with some age patina, wear, scratches/light sharpening. Ricasso marked, "WESTERN BOULDER COLO. PAT. NO. 1,967,479".      Excellent grips and spacers with a brass guard and aluminum pommel.      This 4th variation* has the black/white/black/white/black spacers.  This spacer variation is very rarely seen and may even be post-war. This also has the correct
    Sheath with the large 6 rivets and double stitching.  The left side of throat shows a rip where the corner has come off and then has stitching that has come undone. See photos.
