WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!
The holy grail of change-a-blade knives! And with the original box too!
I remember seeing an article on them in one of the early Blade magazines in the mid 1970's and I think they valued them at a thousand dollars then.

Here are few shots of more from my Nagle collection. The pouch with the blades and the empty handle fit in the large box and that was how they were sold.

The larger group of blades was a salesman's set. Notice the tools to remove the blades. One came with the set the other I got with one of the jacks and 5 blades.

I also have some extra blades in one of the pictures.

On the boxes, the 2 that are the same are boxes that extra blades came in. They were wrapped in those glassine envelopes. The single small box is what an empty handle was sold in.
