Up for grabs is an MSA Co special hunter model 57, mfd about 1905. This is THE EXACT knife used for the photograph in the encyclopedia as shown. Very nice condition, full blade, mark is very light and not legible, but some of the letters from each line are readable. Scales remain fixed firmly to the blade. Sheath is in fair condition as shown, it does have some minor flaws, the blade has poked through the tip, and the strap has a tear. It does retain a copper tip protector inside of the sheath.
