The bolster is stamped "0003" if that means anything,thanks!

Value is subjective and highly variable. I would say anywhere between $50.00 and $150.00 with $75.00 being about average for a complete package with all original paperwork etc.

Always check eBays "Completed Auctions" to try and get an idea of current demand.

I agree. A collector who has the other three and needs this one to complete the set will give more than a collector just wanting a scrim, any scrim, of this pattern. Get two collectors competing seriously for THIS knife at the same time and the value (price they are willing to pay) will climb to the upper end of the range. Of course these are "dual interest" knives as well. A collector of these corvettes might pay a gignormous amount to own one of these knives to match his car.
