C-MON find and questions
Howdy y'all! Long time, no post.
I've been back into the hobby for a bit, and stumbled across a few c-mons today. I don't know much about them, so I come out of lurking to ask the experts
Do you think that these are new production or old stock? The Blackie is a 7/8 , and the Cadillacs are 6/8. I have seen new cadillacs, but only in 5/8 round point.
Sorry for the cell phone pics...
Thanks!

I understand they are made By Dovo, so as nicknbleeding says, as a Dovo.

Thanks guys. I thought that they looked like the newer ones, but hadn't seen these varieties.
Thanks! I actually found them at an antique shop. I had one of those experiences that I only read about and think that it would never happen to me Originally Posted by stimpy52
Got a 9/8 W&B today too

Grrrrrr..... I'm never happy with others' good fortune. Nice hunting, though.

Nice score. We need to see the 9/8 W&B ! I was not aware that Dovo had begun making C-Mon. In the days of Carl Monkhouse they were imported by Peter J. Michaels and made in Solingen. Then shortly after the second world war .... or maybe shortly before Monkhouse got out of Dodge and relocated to Ellicottville NY. They were made there for a time too.

Yes Dovo came back out with them. You can but the CMon Cad for about $69 dont remember about the Blackie. You can tell the difference between the vintage and the new by the way the name is on the tang. New are lasered and vintage are deep stamped. Originally Posted by JBHoren

Here's the W&B. It may be a hair under 9/8 depending on the measurement. No real pitting, and minimal hone wear. It was found with some homemade 1 piece scales. Luckily I have some horn on the way
