Circa 1920-1940. The tang is marked Case with a long C and tested XX below it. A nice job has been done of cleaning it up. The blade and bolsters have a mirror polish finish. The blade has slight movement from side to side. The spring is strong. There are no chips or cracks in the handle scales. It comes in a zipper pouch.

How It Works
This is a consignment sales website. Folks send in knives to us, we clean them up, research them, photograph them, set a value, and sell them for you (handling all shipping, inquiries, returns, etc.)
A.G. Russell called our pricing a Dutch Auction. The price is set by our researcher, and then every month it is available it goes down in price by 10%.
Prices are reduced on the Wednesday closest to the 15th of the month. New knives are added usually twice a month.
