This item is in Mint Condition. A Very nice Game Warden with a beautiful blade. It is complete with a Box, Foam, Matching Warranty Card, Sharpening Instructions, and a White Outer Sleeve.
A note about the last photo. The Game Warden and Prince Models had a lock release to close the blade. This is the case most of the time. I have shown 3 examples in the photo where the production of the double-blade models had lock releases on both blades, on only one blade, or no lock release at all. I don’t know the reasoning behind this. It seems the early production knives had both locks. In this case, the lock release is for the Main Blade only. The indented lock is an indication that the blade will not lock when open.
AN UPDATE
According to my friend and former CEO of Puma, some countries like Belgium, Luxemburg, and France did not allow locked blades so they made the knives without locks. Also for some customers, it was impossible to press both lockbars to release the lock so they produced different versions of the models.
