I downloaded the file at the top of the page and I still can't figure out the variation. Here's what I know.

It was a gift to a friend of mine back in 1975ish.
It's a Buck Hunter 110.
It's been in storage all these years.
He gave it to me as a gift and said he's never used all this time.
It has a black leather sheath that I forgot to take out of the box.
1 Dot then 2 dots. ( *110** )

Any idea of which variation it is? Doesn't seem to match any of the descriptions in the file. Any idea of its value?

It's a 3 dot, 7th version, variation 1. Mfg. 1980. This was written by a Buck employee. That year Buck began to manufacture blades with a full hollow grind of 440C steel. They had just moved into their new larger plant in El Cajon. In 1981 the stamp was changed to a 4 dot and this denotes a steel change to 425M. Plus, it was in 1981 that Buck began to radius the handles. Yours is not radiused. With box, sheath and papers in new condition as you go to sell it price it at 150$. DM
