The information below may be of some help to you.
It should at least get you pointed in the right direction.

“Rare” does not necessarily mean valuable. Value is a function of supply and demand - valuable requires both. Some items are rare enough that finding comparables is difficult at best, to impossible. In such cases, if selling is the objective, it’s best to list it at auction with a low starting bid, and let the bidders determine its value. Concerned you might be “leaving money on the table”? How would you know?

I Don't know much about H&R,but I don't think that knife is very old seeing it has etched tang markings.

Could be wrong but thinking 1970’s to early 80’s mfg. no data just my faulty recollection.
You can always get more money, good old knives are hard to find.
