The handle of the blade is decorated on the sides with a Lleur de Lys coming up from the screw set over a diamond shaped lattice pattern that extends the length of the handle. On the lattice pattern in a horizontal box is raised lettering that reads, "STANLEY" and near the end of the handle running vertically lettering that reads, "NO 199". The other side of the handle has the same decoration but is marked with rasied lettering that reads: "MADE IN THE U.S.A/ BLADES INSIDE".
