Older 110 value

[2TONYB]

I have an opportunity to purchase a Buck 110 marked on the blade with only BUCK* on the blade. No, not really an asterisk, but a small dot after BUCK. I'm sure I will be corrected if I am wrong, but I believe that puts it in the 1966-68 time period. It is in excellent condition. There are only signs of slight use. The sheath, very thin leather, is in near mint condition. The owner told me that the sheath just sat in a drawer. No box. My question, how much money is too much? Also, if anyone has any info on this variation, I would appreciate it.

...Sounds like a nice knife to me. If it looks like these pics it ain't worth nuthin'...Just give me the address to the party sellin' it and I'll let him know personally...heh heh heh...
...click on the thumbnails for larger pics...















Actually this is a Third Version , First Variation made in 1966...One like this sold for about $125 on that "Bay" joint about a week ago...It's a very desireable knife...Hope ya get it...:thumbup:

The year will depend on the orientation of the stamp. Could be a 1965 second version or a 1966-67 third version. Have you checked Joe's Cheat Sheet in this sticky to help determine which it might be? http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=459010

IMHO, in the condition you indicate with the original sheath. In a venue like ebay, a second version could bring $200 or more. And a third maybe $50-75 less then that.

Again this is only my opinion and you know what they say about opinions. :jerkit:

But I believe you did ask for it didn't you.

And yet another. Not mint and no original sheath. And so far it doesn't look like anybody's ready to spring for the $250 BIN.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH... An unended auction! AAAHHHHHh...

Anyway something is seriously not right about that knife anyway.
IMHO $30.00 may be too much, but thats just me. $250.00, no way.

...LOL...I agree with ya both on this one...That's one I wouldn't do $30 on either Jim...Seeing this one for $250 makes me feel that the one in my desk drawer should go for some $750 or $1000 no problem...LMBO...
