This is an early one where  perhaps the confidence in epoxy alone wasn’t enough yet to pass muster of holding a handle on a full tang model. Then again, perhaps old habits were hard to break. This transition went from two bolts, to one, and then none.   A good  look into the evolution of the model 14. I estimate the use of bolts on the full tang models was pretty much done by 1964 or so.    The blade is like the day it left the shop, showing no use or evidence of any sharpening. .
 
The large brass hilt shows a light patina from age.
 
The early black micarta is in unused condition with a unlined thong hole. 
 
Rounding out the package is a beautiful Maurice Johnson split-back sheath with large harness rivets at the throat. An unused combination crystolon stone resides in the pouch.
