Nice one - I picked one up very similar this past weekend but Geneva Cutlery Company - they used Genco later in their history I believe. The one I have doesn't fit in the scales so I'm guessing someone just repinned it in some scale to sell it.
Nice find.

Or the scales shrunk. It happens.
I didn't know that. I'm looking for some new scales. I've made several scales out of nicely burled piece of maple I bought a few years ago and I still have enough pinning material for Maggards Razors that I picked up about a year ago. Maybe I'll just fashion up a set out of that and finish it off with some tung oil.Quote:

Yup, I was going to say the same thing. I have a Shapleigh with original gunstock scales because they have a Shapleigh inlay & they shrunk. The toe barely hits the wedge when closing it so I will need to alter the wedge to make it fit again.Quote:
