This is an early to mid-1970’s model 1-8″ in stellar condition.  It most definitely was made towards the end of the Viet Nam war period. was  Orlando forged stainless blade and large double brass hilt. The 8″ stainless steel blade is a broad example you would find during this period. Note also the earliest stamp to include the “S” (first post separate “S” stamp era) to denote stainless steel. It sets out from the scimitar, unlike later iterations of the stamp. Three thick two thin spacer arrangement of the day. 
 
This piece is set apart by the handle. It is polished stag as I like to call “poor man’s ivory”, which the shop  stopped offering for the most part around the early 2000’s. The color and depth of this material to a degree resembles fossil ivory. 
 
Overall this is a great example of a Model 1 with some tasty options in mint condition.
