Great news for the Northfield - blade stamp, lanyard, old label & double pulls. Wow, if GEC was going to make some changes to the already great #73 they have really knocked the top off on this one! Can't wait to see it!

I would like to see the same changes on the single blade.
Here is a thought. Take the 73 frame with these changes add some gen stag and make the blade a Cotton Sampler!!!

Wow! Exciting news regarding a 73 with a lanyard hole. I have always liked the 72, but always would have preferred a 73 if it had a lanyard hole. I am certainly looking forward to seeing these.
