I have looked at this knife on a mailorder list from a dealer who attends a knife show I go to.He is the only one I have seen who has this knife.His price was around $300.00,but this has been three to four years ago.

I just saw a candy stripe on on e-bay go for $600.00. If I remember right, the writeup said that Queen was considering offering a swichblade back in the 50's, but when the federal swichblade law went into effect, they canned the idea. Years later the old existing parts were found at the factory, assembled and sold as collectors items. Most had the black handles, but a few had the candy stripe celluloid. I don't know how accurate this information is, but there ya go
