Interesting old pocket knife. . . ("R" rated)

I found this pocket knife in the woods the other day. . . in the past, this
area's been good for V-nickels, IndianHeads and a few Barbers. . . just to
set the time-frame.

I didn't realize the extent of the graphics on this knife until after I cleaned
it up. . . (a lot better than the other knives I've found there :D)

Nice find. Put some oil or W-D on it and in a few days take a pliers and pull on the blade. I got mine to open that way.

Got to be the best looking old pocket knife I've ever seen rescued from the ground!

Besides being cool it seems to have been well constructed. Congratulations on a sweet keeper.
