I have tended to use the shotgun approach to collecting but I am trying to focus my collection on 3 or 4 makers but it is so hard for me to do.

Take this knife....this is just my 2nd Winchester.  The first one I got when I was ver young.  This one I recently ought.

It's small...just 2.5" closed with 2 blades, so nearly miniature.

Pearl handles with very long bolsters.

The Big Book of Pocket Knives calls this one a Senator Pen Pattern. 

Not being a Winchester guy, I didn't know that name.  It has a spear and pen lade, polished well and has nickel silver bolters and lining.

The model # 2306 shows up in the Big Book with a value for a top level knife of up to $180.  This one does have pitting but it's not a young knife.  I'm thinking book value on this is 100-120.

This one is pretty close to that but didn't cost me as much in an auction setting.  Only 15 bidders and I paid $70.

For the life of me I can't get this tang to show up well in a photo tho it's clear a can be in real life.

The # is 2306.  The larger blade has Winchester on the tang.  The pearl handles are in great shape with no cracks or shrinkage and the bolsters  look good and the entire knife shines well.

So I am still a noob and have a question.  Do you guys prefer photo in the post or as attachments??

Thanks.

Difference is in the inscrition on the blade. My knife from left, from right side is a knife what I found on one of auction web page. On knife from web you can see KABAR logo under it 1133 and USA on mine you can see only KABAR logo and nothing else! Besides Kabar logo on both knives is different!

 

Knife looks the same,but inscription is different.

Please help me with this knife! What it is? Is it a 1133 model?

 

Ivars.

I go throo several knife forums and I don't find nothing exept those three. I found some kind of Imperial catalogs 1975 and 1977, there isn't my knife. I coontact with seller, unfortunately he said that he don't know nothing more about that knife. He got it on knife show some years a go and everything he knows about this knife was writen in description. :( Looks like finish line! Okay giant thank you guys for help, if somebody find something about this knife, please let me know! Maybe I will try to post some info on some knife forums. If this knife was manufactured, it couldn't be manufactured only one piece? Maybe somebody have this knife in collection. :)

The armed forces knives were a 'limited editon', 8000 sets, so have the serial number on the bolster.
