Last year I purchased from WalMart a Buck 119 Special. It came with the gold 100 year sticker on the box, a lapel pin, 100-yr logo on the blade, etc. The sheath however has the standard triangular Buck emblem. At the time I didn't thing anything of it--I was very pleased with the purchase.

Just recently I purchased a 119BR--the the birchwood "cocabola" with brass. Although this knife was not advertised as a centennial it does have the anvil on the ricasso and the burgundy leather sheath has the 100-year logo.

So this brings up the question: should the first purchase of the centennial 119 have had a 100-yr logo on the sheath instead of the standard triangle?

These knives will probably never get used but 10 or 15 years from now if I sell would the centennial without the centennial sheath be worth less?
 
kendo, I just looked at mine, it is the 119 like yours from walmart, but does have the 100 year sheath. Yours may have been an early issue before the 100 yr sheaths were ready.
Good question for Jeff Or Joe. You may have some thing not common.
