Is it likely that the scales were of US manufacture, and the blades were all from one place? It would seem odd for a company to have disparate forges for one model, although I guess back in "those days" the $1 price difference could help offset such an arrangement?

I recently came upon a REG US PAT OFF Dubl and I've been pursuing as much knowledge as possible re: its origins. But unfortunately, this whole Made in America thing has thrown everyone for a loop :/.
