anton67 Posted August 19, 2016 Share #1 Posted August 19, 2016 Hi, I have been offered this USMC knife for $200. I know there are a lot of fakes out there so my question is whether or not it looks legit? Also, if so, is $200 a reasonable price for the knife? Thank you in advance for your help.

jw517 Posted August 19, 2016 Share #5 Posted August 19, 2016 Looks like a winner to me. Should have nine staples in sheath. 200 is good. Your paying for the paper on the sheath too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anton67 Posted August 19, 2016 Author Share #7 Posted August 19, 2016 Is $200 in the ball park of what they go for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jw517 Posted August 19, 2016 Share #8 Posted August 19, 2016 With the paper on the sheath I'd say yes. I've bought them cheeper but you don't see that combination for sale everyday. Try to get it for less? It's a great knife but far from rare/scarce . I've paid 120.00 for the same condition knife but not with original care instructions on sheath.

Navybean Posted August 19, 2016 Share #9 Posted August 19, 2016 Nice knife with paper I would say $350 to $450 Great deal at $200 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Hudson Posted August 19, 2016 Share #10 Posted August 19, 2016 Those have not been faked: there are modern day reproductions but they are not exact copies of the actual thing. Here's some clear photos of one http://www.usmilitariaforum.com/forums/index.php?/topic/47796-camillus-fighting-knife-w-original-tag/ and a couple of completed sales of these: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anton67 Posted August 19, 2016 Author Share #11 Posted August 19, 2016 Oh wow. I didn't realize it was worth that much. $200 is a good price. Thank you all for your input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anton67 Posted August 19, 2016 Author Share #12 Posted August 19, 2016 Thanks to your advice I picked up the knife. I got it for a little less. It will be in the mail today so I should have it early next week. I will post photos. Thanks again Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anton67 Posted August 22, 2016 Author Share #18 Posted August 22, 2016 Got it in the mail today. What are your thoughts? The tag unfortunately is partially torn off. Other than that, the knife is in excellent condition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
