This is either a mistake that slipped past the inspection process or it is a blade that came out of the factory by alternate means and was assembled by whomever owned it. I would be interested in looking inside the grip. There is a nut inside the grip that holds the grip and crossguard to the threaded blade tang. After thei was assembled the bottom portion of the grip was filled with epoxy. If this knife was assembled outside the factory it probably doesn't have the epoxy fill in the grip.

So under that note. Is this thing worth anything with the condition it is in or is just a working mans knife now that it has been messed with. I see it is a little over 100.00. Sounds like it is one of the old winchesters you see all the time that someone has ruined the value on by drilling and tapping for a scope or other dreadfull things I have seen.
