Still no examples of Astros without scales. I know there have to be examples out there. The search continues.
Hi Sam!

You'll be pleased to know that I have one!

Below are photos of my only Astro which I picked up on eBay very early in my RMK collecting years, circa 2003.



Here it is before and after polishing:









Here's a closeup of the stamp:




Now I know you are really excited by this...

Yes, your suspicions are aroused...







ACK!!! It's a tiny replica in sterling silver!

On top of it all, I sent photos of this "knife" to Gary Randall to verify its authenticity, and he informed me that it is a "fake", not authorized by RMK.

The creator of this item remains unknown.


Sorry Sam!

Anyway, I hope you find a real one.

Cheers!

David
