cagedfalcon Posted August 8, 2020 Share #1 Posted August 8, 2020 No marking on blade, England on scabbard. Elastic that holds the stilletto in scabbard has snapped but appears to be unused....no belt or strap marks noted. Seems to good for the price of under $400.

sundance Posted August 8, 2020 Share #2 Posted August 8, 2020 I love those knives but I thought they went for considerably less than $400. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thorin6 Posted August 8, 2020 Share #3 Posted August 8, 2020 That's a Type 3 with a machine ground blade from WW2, imported into the USA after the war. Generally they sell, with sheath, from $150-$200. The hand ground blades sell for a bit more, maybe up to $225 or so. Look at all the ones on ebay and you'll see a wide variation in asking prices for the Type 3s, but having bid on a few, the selling prices are in the ranges mentioned.

cagedfalcon Posted August 8, 2020 Author Share #4 Posted August 8, 2020 Think I need to start researching what I can before asking here....it's getting a little embarrassing [emoji849].I also really need to step away from this seller at these prices.Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sundance Posted August 8, 2020 Share #5 Posted August 8, 2020 No need to be embarrassed. You are researching by checking things out here. That's what I always do. Sure, there are also books and such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doyler Posted August 9, 2020 Share #6 Posted August 9, 2020 As stated.Its a late 3rd pattern. The ENGLAND stamp was put on when these were spld and imported to the US post war and sold. As for the seller it seems hes like the majority of sellers who go to ebay and use it as a price guide by picking the highest price shown. Maybe hes of the mind set start high as its easier to go down than up when selling. I saw one Friday at a gun show and worse condition priced at $600....🥴 and hes had it for several shows. When I first saw it I thought the tag said $60 which seemed more than plenty for the condition..the other "zero" was covered slightly by a different knife. I recently sold one here on the forum that was duplice to my collection as I up graded.I sold it for $185 shipped.... guess I should have asked $1500 😄 based on ebay-nomics.

john k Posted August 9, 2020 Share #7 Posted August 9, 2020 They may not be worth a lot, but sure are nice knives. But yea, oddly low value for such an iconic blade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
