I have a very nice vintage 503 Prince in Micarta, with the script Buck lettering on it - I believe it's 440C but I can't promise it (I think when they went to 425M when they went to wood over Micarta, and the grind lines on the 440C models tend to be a bit softer on the 440c, this has those characteristics). It's in great shape, I don't believe it has been carried or used. I got some of the dried, crusty factory oil off, but not all. It appears to have the factory edge as well. There are some marks on the bolsters from handling, they would easily buff out but I've decided to leave it as-received. I tried my best to show the marks in the bolsters but it's so shiny they're tough to photograph. The blade does sit off-center as shown in the photo, and movement is a bit stiff, but I think it probably needs to be lubed up and broken in. Again, I tried to leave it as pristine as possible. Should date from the mid 70s to about 1980. These are *SO* much nicer than the modern 503s.
