I've got a nice old 112 with no nail-nick and a halfway decent sheath for sale. Super lock-up. Aside from the usual tarnishing on the bolsters, a real good old knife. $50.00 shipped to anywhere in the CONUS; elsewhere shipping varies.

Also, an ALL BLACK 560, great shape except for a scratch in the blade spine's black finish from a "one armed bandit." With sheath. As above, great lock-up. Except for the ding on the blade, the knife could pass for new. $65.00 shipped, elsewhere blah, blah.

I accept PayPal with three per cent bump to cover fee, or USPS Money Order. PM me here or e-mail for details.

Thanks.
 
Forgot to metion the tang stamp on the 112 is:

(blade tip up, edge facing left)

"BUCK
.112..
U.S.A"
 
Pictures of the 560:

You can see the scratches in the spine in the second picture.
 
My grandfather gave me a Buck many years ago. He worked as a railroad engineer in the 1940's and got the knife then. The only markings are a stamped BUCK on the blade. Handle is black composite with silver/shiny metal at end and next to the blade. There are no additional marking/rings on the handle as there are on the 1998 version that looks just like mine except for the 2 rings on the handle. I don't have a camera but can have a friend take a photo. Before I do however, if this is a real 105 with leather sheath in good condition, I would like to know if it is a rare item. I've looked through all the posts and the 105 never seems to appear.

BillBill,

I have a couple of Buck 105s. One has a green handle and belonged to my Dad. I believe it was purchased in the late 1940s. I also have one that he bought new and gave me in 1960. The only marking on this one is the word "Buck" on the blade just ahead of the handle. The 1960 version has three maroon spacers at the back of the handle, two at the front. It has the aluminum "silver/shiney metal" fore and aft, except the material closest to the blade is brass. I think you should start a new thread with pictures of your knife. The knowledge here is amazing and someone is sure to give you better information.
