Buck - Sawby 531 questions...

[barcbsa]

Buck - Sawby 531 with a 3 1/4" long blade.

What's it's ballpark value, slightly carried and used?

How many were made?

What steel was used for the blade?

Thanks.

Five to six hundred were made as I recall. The blade steel should be 425M. Four or five prototypes have Buck, USA as the tang stamp. Thirty or so have a "V" date stamp. Some of those thirty were Buck Club gold etched blade versions. These mentioned with the unusual tang stamps go for well over $250. FYI.
