Schrade Cut Co Hunters Pride # G1543 3/4 bone Folding guard switchblade knife

Vintage Schrade Cut Co Hunters Pride # G1543 3/4 bone Folding guard switchblade knife made in Walden, NY. It measures 4 7/8 inches closed and 8 11/16 inches open with steel liners, bolsters & button with nickel silver guards and safety. The clip blade is 94% full and shiny with light scratches and is stamped SCHRADE CUT CO WALDEN NY on the tang and back US PATS DEC 21, 09, SEPT 13, 10 and JUNE 6, 16 so it was made between 1916 and 1946. The jigged bone scales are very attractive and though they look like they could be original to the knife, but they are not. They have been professionally replaced at some point in the knife's past. The knife works great with blade tip even with the liners closed, strong snap and good lockup with about 1/16" up and down at the tip open. Does not rattle with blade open except for the guards. Safety does not work properly. EX+ condition.
