It is indeed a nice money clip Bill.

Should you want the correct pins installed, I can take care of that for you. Bill, thank you SO much for your kind offer to correct this "situation" for me. Lord knows you've helped me out with issues similar to this in the very recent past and I'm very grateful. Jeremy had made the offer to correc...

Thanks DonC and Luke! I was beginning to get the impression that it was “all bad”. I’m feeling a bit better about it today.

Well, can't blame you guys for givin' it to me straight. Live and learn, and that's what we are here for. To learn. Thanks guys!

Probably a replacement. I think the bottom bolster should be brass too. The brass pin on top on this knife is historically accurate, though.

The entire bottom bolsters should be brass??? Or, you mean the pin?

Wow. Once again, sold to me as original.

Thanks Rick. I know I've said it before, but one thing I sure love about this hobby is seeing these pieces loved and cared for, for so long.

Is the backspring pin steel?

lol...Thanks Jeremy! Yes, I noticed that pin is different than the others that are brass. Any reason why?

My 1st, my 1 and only...Seems in truly great shape. I'm told early 1950's. Dark (Black) Horn. No steel liners or red dot, but I love it just the same! https://i.imgur.com/iIzQPHv.jpg https://i.imgur.com/CvCU6sR.jpg https://i.imgur.com/8kxuw15.jpg https://i.imgur.com/E5BVzrc.jpg https://i.imgur.com/K...

Solid Sterling Silver Bolsters??? I can only imagine the regret of letting those go! Again, I’ve never heard of any Walt’s Classic’s with Sterling Silver Bolsters. You’ve had/have some special pieces for sure Barb!

(at one time, I held on to 6 11" 5MM Frank B's. Not knowing any better, I sold them all...). Wow Barb! 11"- 5mm Frank B's? Besides the 5mm Frank Beltrame makes for Walt Halucha, I can't even remember Frank B offering anything in 5mm, including his Limited Editions. Those would certainly be a sight ...

Not sure about this one Mike, but I feel your new Frosolone would be more of a Flatguard Picklock, but I don't even think the Frosolone's are considered as Flatguards. Naturally, I could be wrong.

It's a beauty Mike! The Frosolone style took a while for me to love, but I sure do!

hey good snag on the Brazilian there were only 10 made in brazilian because at the time i had them made Frank did not use Brazilian horn on any knives only on walts knives so i had to buy the horn from Dibon in italy then send it back to italy from usa so Frank could use it he used it to make 10 pi...

Jason...was able to make payment this morning with no issues. Don't know what the heck happened the last attempt. Must have been me. Thanks! 11" JulesVane.
