    I agree with it being similar to car models thanks guys! It'd be cool to see other examples if anyone has them! Oh and btw, any dating info from the first compared to last? How long did they keep this model it looks like decades.

    Well the first date was a bit of a nerve wracking event, but things got easier every time and eventually I got married...But not to my first date...It would never have worked with her anyway...

    I'm just bumping this to show another example. I find this very interesting seeing how the models varied over the years. I wonder which of these is older. I'm considering buying the one on the bottom, very patriotic.

    I can't tell if the one in black scales has a worked spine or not but I believe it does. The eagles are not similar at all though and it looks like the points may be different.

    Yes the one in black does have a worked spine. The different edge geometry on the bottom one is likely due to hone wear which was hiden during the restoration process, and I'd guess the razor was subsequently taped.
