Randall Model #24-4 inch, VERY EARLY GUARDIAN!!
Ahoy Mates,
Check out this Model #24, Guardian, from the deep dark dungeon of The Captain's STASH! It has many features which help to date this #24 as an early example. For one thing, it is almost identical to one featured in Gaddis' book on page 238. I am guessing between 1976-78 would be a close dating for this example.
Old Yeller (Westinghouse Ivorite Micarta) with the early 'fishtail' handle shape, wide center spacer, Early concealment sheath design with the 'frog' for in-the-waistband carry as well as facility for neck sheath wear. The sheath also sports the tiny cutouts to allow an 'O' ring (Or rubber band works as well) to friction-fit behind the reduced hilt for safety and security!
All together this package sorta' dates itself! I sure hope you like it!
Stay sharp, Capt. Chris
