First Antique Store Find
Found my first decent Antique Store find. By decent I mean no major chips, rust decay, or scale damage. I cleaned up the blade with some 1k, 1500, 2k wet dry sand paper and a quick hand polish. Looks like the post 1969 logo to me, can't find anything about the model number 34 or anything.
There appears to be some substantial hone-wear, which unfortunately doesn't show up in pictures after the polishing. The back side of the blade, opposite the logo stamping, ended up with a very wide bevel in the middle portion of the blade. My skills on the stones are very minimal, so I'm not sure if I should bother trying to fix the geometry or just let it sit for a few months until I get some more time under my belt.
