Thanks Jeff, yes I believe the covers are original. I think Chin is correct in a post he made one page back. I looked at it under a 10X loupe and it is definitely not wood.
ust a fantastic knife there, Rob. I love everything about it. The way the cover material has swelled around the pins and shrunk back from the bolster makes me suspect it's some sort of synthetic 'composition' material, perhaps rubber based. Also, you'll notice the 'grain' is very evenly layered and regular. I'm far from an expert on the matter, though; it just seems similar to other knives I've seen from that period in that material.
