If I remember correctly the officers version of the M1907 PS had only one screw, which was the reverse of the earlier M1895. If the length of the blade was listed that would be better for determining, I think I remember the officer swords having a few inches shorter weapons for the late spanish cavalry patterns. I could be wrong though of course  |

That model was called the Oakleaf Dagger when it was copied by Windlass after they took over MRL and ousted the Del Tin line. This one does appear to be the Del Tin version based on a few things. The Windlass had a scabbard with a steel chape and locket and the leather is stiffer. The leather grip wrap on the Windlass is less pebbled and the stitching is more visible. All in all it does appear to be a Del Tin. |

Ah Lew's collection! He's a guy from EAA. Passed away last year I think  those are the remains of his wonderful collection after most had been sold to forum members. A sad remembrance - I hope people who get them treat them as lovingly as he did. |

They initially offered it to the forum members and then the remainder they put on ebay. |

This is a real nice customization. The color scheme works and you'll recognize the furniture. I'm not planning on buying anything but this is pretty enough to get my attention: www.ebay.com/itm/152362262098?ul_noapp=true |
