Newbie Looking for info on Randall Knife

[JLLewis]

I am looking for info on the knife and sheath pictured. I am doing research for my neighbor, 80+ year old with knives and guns that he will be selling in the future. This is our first venture and I said I would help him.

His idea is to sell the knives on EBAY and will deal with the guns later.

I believe, what I have is a model 25, 6" blade with a maple handle. The sheath is a model A.

Beyond that, how would you describe it and what would be a fair market value that we could expect on EBAY?

Thank You,

Jeff

And, should I try to clean it or leave as is?

Jeff,
Spacers say late 70's,early '80's(More likely early 80's as centre spacer is faded),so too old to be a 25.
I don't have my notes with me so cant say what the "LS" refers to off hand.
The handle looks to be "Bone linen micarta",with nickel silver square top guard.
Sorry I cant be more help,but don't worry,stick around and someone will no doubt help you out more than I can.
If it was mine I wouldn't clean it,just leave it as is!

JL, please review the forum rules before asking valuation questions. Your thread will be reopened once you membership level has been appropriately upgraded. https://www.bladeforums.com/help/exchange-rules/

eBay/PayPal fees run ~14% of final sales price; it's much less expensive to sell here.
