We can't give you price valuations because you are not a paid-subscriber here (part of the rules), but you should post pictures in this subforum to get evaluations of authenticity & rarity.

Regarding value, you can go to eBay and check the latest sold prices for an approximation as to the knife's value.

James Lile made a lot of very good knives and they can certainly go for up to that price, maybe more. Someone bought the Lile name and made knives after that, still marked Lile but with a small dot near the name. These are not worth as much. You can go to the Bernard Levine subforum here, get the contact information for Mr. Levine, and for a small fee he will provide a valuation of the knife. This is probably worthwhile if the knife turns out to be one that is in the $750 ballpark.
