Greetings,
I was recently given a Puma fixed blade knife with a stag handle in its original sheath and box, and was wondering what it is worth.
The knife is engraved on the right side of the blade with "6396" and underneath it, "Original Puma-Bowie" and underneath that, "Genuine-Pumaster-Steel-Germany". There is also the number 72172 engraved in the metal guard that seperates the handle from the blade. The box label says "Puma 6396 Bowie". The knife itself is 11" in overall length and has a blade length of 6 7/16". The sheath is embossed with the Puma logo, and is stamped "Made in Germany" on its backside.
I would rate the blade at 97%, the handle at 99%, the box at 98%, and the sheath at 99%. The only problem is that the foam in the box has dried and is now half gone, with the remainder dry and brittle.
I know this knife was bought new by its last owner over 30 years ago and never used.
What might it be worth?
