I have 2 of these old original Busse Combat catalogs and was wondering if they are worth anything as collector items or such? If so what might they be worth? Many thanks!

They aren't worth crap but I would like to have one for the heck of it :) hey HK...stop being greedy and give one to me.
 
I was thinking of parting with them but I don't know what a fair price is on them......you have any idea? I sold an A2 Badger attack about 10 years ago for $40!!!!!! I did not know these were so saught after. I bet I could have got several hundred for that same Badger.....lol
 
Oh man. OUCH!

Do you really wanna know that Badgers go for roughly 20x that now??? OUCH!

You might get $10-30 for them. They are cool, but not really a collectible to most.
 
I've had a couple of them, I kept at least one as I have one of each of the knives in the catalog. I'm not sure what they would bring for a price, I received mine with a knife each time, I'd guess $35 - $40? Too bad you don't have any of the knives any longer. Here is a picture of mine with the knives.

I still had an order form a while back, thought about writing a check and sending it in just for giggles.

IIRC someone had one of those original price lists for sale on the Busse For Sale forum here within the last six months, maybe as much as a year. If you can find that thread (and if the seller didn't edit out the price) you could use that as a guideline.

However, my quick search for the word "catalog" from any date in that forum got no hits, so you'll have to be a little creative in your search techniques.

Otherwise, I'd say your guess of $30'ish or so is as good as any for a starting place.
