Looks legit to me. I had one of those in the black G10 of the same year. I think the main pivot did got replaced though as it should have a domed style one versus where this one of flat/flush style like modern EKI's.

Looks legit to me. I just recently traded this exact model (only non serrated) here a few weeks ago. It was my EDC for many years. Great knife. Here are some of my pictures to compare:

You could always email pictures to info@emersonknives.com, they would be able to give you a definitive answer.

Price can only be discussed by Gold members and higher. Sorry, man. Those are the rules.

Good catch if it is. When I saw your post and went back and looked, there is something on the pivot screw in the closeup photo as well... Can't tell for sure if it's wear, corrosion, rust or whatever.

Yeah, the pivot screw looks a bit chewed up. Almost as if someone tried to tighten it and slipped causing it to be slightly stripped. Not a big deal if its going to be a user or if you are getting a good deal on it, but if its for a collection or if you are paying market price I would skip it.
the thing is i do not know the market price

It looks a lot like a Jungle Commander to me:

Those two small screws in the middle of the scales look odd to me though. If you look at the Jungle Commander the scale is smooth other than the pivot screw and the two screws at the back of the knife. Strange...

Alder......
I wouldn't expect to get this one on the cheap..... old school Emerson Commander's still sell at a premium and this one with the older doomed pivot pin, looks like the Hard Chrome finish on the blade and the first time with green handles is all one would want in early Emerson knife. And no it's not a Jungle Commander........we all need to sharpen our Google Fu skills......
Josh had the right idea by taking a look at Ebay

Looks like a real Commander to me.
Thumb disc, screws, box, scales, all appear correct.
I found the sale site it's on and where it's from. I'd use PayPal for some added purchase protection especially to cya shipping internationally.
Other than that the price is just OK. Maybe a little high.
