Need Help Researching Buck Crosslock Limited Production 1997

[Dcarp]

Greetings all. Glad to be a member of the group. I was going through some old knives and came across a couple that I was trying to research. I believe these are the Stainless Steel Buck Crosslock 1997 Limited Production (less than 300 made) and the Damascus Crosslock from the same year that I believe less than 30 were made. I've provided a couple of images below. The stainless steel has Limited Production 1997 and ATS34 stamped on the blade, and the Damascus just has the Buck USA stamp on the blade. Being that there was a limited production of these blades it's hard to find value comparisons. Very cool knives for sure. I'm just looking to see if anyone has any other interesting tidbits about these knives or know a ballpark on value?

gedlicks James will most likely know about these. If he doesn't he'll know someone or they will by along.

Somewhere I think I have a flyer on the limited edition crosslocks. There are a few variations of ones with squared off edges as well as some with radiused edges.
I know the damascus one was not put into production and the aluminum and stainless versions were limited editions but not sure exactly how many ended up being
made. Not alot of info out there about them and you don't see them come up for sale very often and not alot of collectors out there on these. Generally I have not seen
them go for very much except for the damascus version.
