"I agree with Tobias in that the winged crown looks like the Olbertz mark.
With the nail attachment, wide German silver (nickel silver) band and the style of the rostfrei stamp, my first impression is an earlier knife perhaps 1930s-50s. If it was…"

Yes, this knife WAS MADE in 2008. It should be a HALF-WHITTLER (2 blades) with imitation mother-of-pearl handles (9 : imitation mother-of-pearl; 2 : number of blades; 8 : whittler).…"

Tobias Gibson replied to Jay Sack's discussion A question about the dates of some CASE knifes in the group Case Fans"As mentioned the same knife in the same pattern and scale material could be made in other years but then the tang stamp would have a different number of dots"
Sue OldsWidow replied to Jay Sack's discussion A question about the dates of some CASE knifes in the group Case Fans"Case knives are all dated by the unique tang stamps they have....http://www.wrcase.com/case_college/tang_stamps/ ; ......this might help you out

Tobias Gibson replied to Jay Sack's discussion A question about the dates of some CASE knifes in the group Case Fans"Case uses a series of dots to denote the year of manufacture. It means the knife was made in THAT year’s run. The same exact pattern may appear with a different number of dots but then it was be from a different year.
They began…"
Railsplitter replied to Jay Sack's discussion A question about the dates of some CASE knifes in the group Case Fans"Jay,
It is simply a date code. The knife was made in 2008 but it doesn't mean that is the first year of production. Beginning in 1970 Case started using dots and/or X's to depict the year of manufacture. They start each decade with…"

A question about the dates of some CASE knifes
I am currently looking at a knife described on ebay as CASE XX 9208 SS 2-DOT 2008. Does this mean that the knife was only made in 2008 or is it simply the first year of manufacture? I do notice knives that are said to be new but have dates as far back as 1998. Again only made in 1998 or 1st year of manufacture? Case fans input to answer this question will be appreciated.?See More
Jay Sack commented on Tom Hudson's group Rough Rider Collector's"The smoky mountain knife works current catalog (page 42) offers a bark pearl medium stockman for $16.99. The catalog picture is not that clear. Does anyone have pictures of any of the bark pearl series of knives?"

Jay, got your message to the Rough Rider Group about the RR235, mini-trapper. Your complaint was a common one about some of the early Rough Riders. I've got the 3.25 inch RR419 Black Pearl Sleeveboard whittler and it also has nail breaker blades, especially the main blade. I don't have an answer for you. My whittler has been opened and closed a couple hundred time and the spring is still a s strong as can be. What I can tell you is that not every Rough Rider suffers from this problem. Toby
