Keith Posted December 8, 2019 Share #3 Posted December 8, 2019 I have one similar, maybe a little better that I paid $600 for several years ago. I may have over-paid as I wanted it. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okie96 Posted December 10, 2019 Share #5 Posted December 10, 2019 Ouch, poor washers. Don’t have my books or archive handy but I’d guess,....eh $400ish. Washers cracked and not dated. Case is not really rare but the finish looks nice if it’s original and it does have a nice m6 which looks correct. Again if it’s all original, I may have that a bit lowballed. See what others say.

AAF_Collection Posted December 10, 2019 Author Share #6 Posted December 10, 2019 Thanks Okie. Between the suggestions here and looking at examples which have sold on eBay I'm going to put it in the for sale section at $450 including shipping from the UK, and if there's no interest I'll try ebay. I've owned it for twenty five years and bought it from an older collector here when I was in my teens. It does have a story attached, but without any solid evidence to support it that's unfortunately all it is, a story. The collector I got it from claimed to have obtained it from a gentleman in Suffolk who found it near the crash site of a B-17, but as I say it's just a story. Thanks, Matt.

lambo35 Posted December 15, 2019 Share #7 Posted December 15, 2019 A question; would putting a flexible glue in the broken washers then clamping them so the gap is closed, using a screw type hose clamp, would this diminish the value of the knife?

Blacksmith Posted December 15, 2019 Share #8 Posted December 15, 2019 I would not mess with it, gluing it, etc. It is what it is, and I personally wouldn*t buy one that had been repaired. And, FWIW, I think $450 is absolute top of the mark. Common knife, in one of the more common sheaths (L&C being the other). If it was a Moose or Barwood, different conversation. Overall nice honest piece you have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
