Mr.Gale Posted April 13, 2020 Share #1 Posted April 13, 2020 Hi,I'm new to this forum and my main reason for joining is I received this knife as a partial payment from a deadbeat customer. I'm not exactly sure what it is and what the value is. Can anyone give me their opinion?The knife look very nice and it has serial #0781. The display case has marks and a light spot on top.Thanks,Mr.G P.S. I can provide more photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sundance Posted April 13, 2020 Share #2 Posted April 13, 2020 I don't have a clue as to value but it's a nice looking knife. Case should have a website that might give you some information. Do you collect knives or militaria? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronald Posted April 13, 2020 Share #3 Posted April 13, 2020 If they are a "deadbeat customer" how can they be sending items and not a payment (if that is what you expected)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Gale Posted April 13, 2020 Author Share #4 Posted April 13, 2020 If they are a "deadbeat customer" how can they be sending items and not a payment (if that is what you expected)? Well, if someone owes you money and they don't have any, what do you do? Me, I'll take anything of value rather than walkaway. Mr.G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronald Posted April 13, 2020 Share #6 Posted April 13, 2020 Now I understand. Wasn't quite sure when I read it though. The knife is described below: Case V-42 Limited Edition Stileto in honor of the Canadians of the First Special Service Force. This knife is #894 of 1500 made. Made by W.R. Case and Sons in 1984. Issued by the American Historical Foundation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siclfde Posted April 13, 2020 Share #7 Posted April 13, 2020 If they are a "deadbeat customer" how can they be sending items and not a payment (if that is what you expected)? Well - if he legitimately owes the money and either can't or wont pay $ as he had agreed beforehand, I would call that a deadbeat! If there was a barter agreed to beforehand, different story. If it were a real V42, it would be worth several thousand. A commemorative replica - to someone who collects commemorative replicas, maybe a couple hundred. To someone who doesn't collect commemorative replicas, very little intrinsic value Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skir Posted April 13, 2020 Share #8 Posted April 13, 2020 MrG, Case made 1500 for the USA members USSF, the one You have, and also 1500 for the Canadian members of the USSF(the one I have). Here in the US, the one you have is more desirable. In Canada it's vise versa. I have 200.00 in trade for the one I have. I believe what member siclfde quoted is spot on. Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Gale Posted April 17, 2020 Author Share #9 Posted April 17, 2020 Thanks to everyone for your input, I appreciate it very much. I'm going to put it on eBay and see what I can get. Mr.G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
