Buck 112 1974-1980 value

[Terry Bladerunner]

I dug up my old Buck from a drawer that hadn't seen daylight in awhile. Does anyone know the value of a Buck 112 manufactured 1974-1980?

What condition is it in?

 

[110 Dave]

well as messer says condition is every thing including condition ...
as new = no use with no cutting markes on the blade ... no drop marks on the brass and
with out box but with sheath it likely will bring some thing like 25 on the bay
some times a lot less rarely more when it has two dots or 4 dots ..
that said 3 dots bring more as they are a one year only and desired in a year/type collection..
no dots and no nail nick bring more... light brown seciqa wood brings more...
mostly to get in to higher end value it would need to be of black or harder to find white micarta handles or one of the first year ones... all very scearce...
any use marks detract a lot...
does this answer your question?

Yes, that's very helpful. It is a two dot (1 on each side of the 112). Dark wood handles (Rosewood?) original leather sheath but it is used. I guess for that price i'll hang on to it and pass down to my grandson someday. thanks again.

I'm pretty certain that you could get "at least" $25 for it if is used but not abused.
Have seen them go for about twice that on the auction site. If you had all the paperwork, box, original sheath, and all were in at least "good" condition, then I would say $75.

Your mileage may vary.

Here is a link with a description of the variations:
