Hi thanks for letting me join.
I picked up this police knife the length seams right and also the weight
I was told it’s from early 80s and is one of a kind. Sorry it’s not in best shape few blemishes please let my know your thoughts about it

Bigger pics of the whole knife on both sides would help?

Sal really needs to see if this is a prototype Police or not.
The scales and blade appear to be a laminated steel, if my monitor is accurate?

This would be a red flag alone.

The clip is strange, and the pivot is a removable one...

I am thinking that it might be a "liberated" proto that Sal might be missing from years ago, if it is genuine.

Either way, truth will come out at some stage?

What is written on the back of the blade?

Looks like Robbart or Robbert or Robberd ...

I would say totally bogus. It mimics the shape and lock placement of the second generation that came out around 1989. Sal has told us the Police came from a request for "a Mariner with a point" and it shows in the first generation C07. That looks to be someone's homage at best.
