S&W Survival Bowie No Mfg. Date

[michael.lamarca@sbcglobal]

Good Morning,
I recently acquired a Survival Bowie and noticed that it did not have the Year of Manufacture stamped in the Blade.
Has anyone ever seen this before?
This is my first post on a Forum.
Thank you for any information you might have.

They were made by S&W in a off site ( from the main plant) plant nearby in Springfield, MA. in the 1970s. Ed.
