Randall knife observations in Clarence Browns Men's store in 1944

Most of us have seen this picture in Gaddis' book page 90.



Clarence Brown was Bo Randalls father-in-law and carried Bo's knives in his Orlando retail store almost from the first. (P89 Gaddis)

Have you looked closely at the picture and knives displayed?

This is one I don't think I've ever seen an example of. Judging the hilt, it appears to be a stag Hunter with 2 sections of RWB spacers, similar to the modern model 25 trapper. Has anyone seen this style knife?







How about this one? It appears to be a Hunter with RWB spacers and early Randall/Scagel shaped hilt?



How about the Clarence Moore sheaths? Some of them appear to be thicker than others?






What do you think? Any other observations?
Regards, Sam
