I have no idea if it is or not, it's simply the one that came in the box. I collect variations of the 110 for illustration purposes. I try to make sure I have the box and sheath but don't need or desire to have to rarest one. The liner lock 110 though is one of the variations that one should have if they are collecting them since I think it's an important one. The brass version that you refer to was a prototype that apparently pre-dates the production version and are very limited in numbers.Buck_110 said:
The tang indicates it is a later version. It reads Buck in scroll and USA on the next line read tip up. I have the box, which is black and indicates it is model 0110-LL-0, catalong #2462. It came with the sheath in the photo along with the allen wrrench in a little plastic pouch.Buck_110 said:
Whoever looks at the sheath anyway. Buck makes changes all the time. It doesn't surprise me that there might be various types of sheaths that went out with them.Buckaholic said:
The only interest I have in the Colt Python is the fact that it was the weapon I carried on duty when I was a cop. I sold it shortly after I resigned.Buck_110 said:
I showed it in the photo because I thought it made a cool picture. I said I had no idea if it was the correct sheath, but that it came in the box. Since it came in the box, in my mind, and as far as I'm concerned or care, it's correct. This is really a mute point since I will never be selling it anyway. Perhaps when I'm dead, someone will have to argue with my wife.Buck_110 said:

Wow Mike and Marvin,
Do you think the box will make it shoot better.

Not kidding anyone Buck_110. Just thinking you guys are lucky to have a LL. Box, sheath, tang stamp, whatever the diif may be. Certainly, a complete set (Sheath, box, and papers) add to the value.Buck_110 said:Buckaholic:
Who you kidding? You posted in the past that you wished you hadn't thrown boxes away yourself. You say you want one. Trades? You got anything interesting? If you want, I can color one scale brown, change the sheath, and grind the tang stamp off if you wish.Let me know. 110s and 110 variants only.
on Tuesday.

. You also seem have a vast knowledge pertaining to our beloved Buck knives; thank you for sharing. One of the Buck 192's I bought off of ebay came in the wrong box and it has bothered me ever since. The seller also sold the knife I got the box for during the same time frame......so......there is another fellow out with my box
. Oh well I like the knife not the box. What is funny though is that I have an empty box for a 124 that had a maroon (red) martica handle, I kept the box after I traded the knife away over 25 years ago. Go figure:foot: .

I see in some of your prior posts that you have a fondness for the Colt Python. How come in the Blue Book of Gun Values it's worth an additional 10% more with the original box and paperwork than without it?
Yes, Buck does make changes, but not that frequently. For example the sheath in you photo was the standard from 1989 through 1994. And prior to that, the snap was only single stamped. And if nobody looks at the sheath anyway, why did you include it in your photo? Just because it came in the box, doesn't make it correct. If it was pre-owned, or on display in a store, changes, swaps, and mistakes surely could have occured. I have done this myself to ensure what I have is correct.

You may not think so if you knew my wife. Most people that know they may have to argue with her over something back down before it happens. She really knows how to wear you down. I've learnbed ove rthe years to simply reply, "Yes dear!"chickentrax said:For no particular reason, this struck me as hysterically funny...lol...
