Queen fixed blade

[Willow Farm]

Hi all, I really enjoy. I picked up a Queen fixed blade (marked Qsteel) and no other markings. Stacked leather handle with 3 white rings on both ends. o.a.l. is a hair over 8". Blade is mirror like finish and about 4 1/8" long , 5/8" widest with a raised tip. Q sheath fits just right and has the low single snap holder. Shows very little wear. What would it be called and what price range? Appreciate any help!

If it's marked 'Qsteel' (likely a reference to 'Queen Steel'), it's likely a 440C blade; that's what Queen used in the majority of older knives marked as such; more recent knives ('90s and forward) may be in 420HC. Posting a pic of the knife (or several pics, including close-up of the tang stamp) would help in ID'ing and aging the vintage.

Asking for or giving value info is awry of forum rules for members with less than a 'Gold' level paying membership.

Edit:
BTW, if the 'QSteel' is stamped on the tang, instead of a blade etch, that might age the knife in the 1948-'55 range. If so, that would be 440C.
