I'm no expert by any means but something about this knife makes me think.

It just doesn't look right to me, I could be wrong. Maybe someone can enlighten me about this one.

well the high bidder is the partner of burfmurret or an aka. definite sellers of questionable case knives. the pattern number looks questionable as does the stag.

Howdy Guys,

Looks like a rehandle job to me!

Johnnie hit the nail on the head. Pattern number has been monkeyed with, the 5 is higher than the 488. Hafting and general appearance are wrong for Case Stag.

i wrote the seller and have gotten no reply. it's over $600.00 now. people will pay lots of money to be f**ked.

i did some checking and the seller, girlfriend-007 is from ckarksville. so is burfmurret, and his partner or aka carman2the.n, who was the high bidder. i bet they are padding the bids. clarksville must be a hot bed of knife counterfeiting. no offense to any honest resident.

edited for correct spelling

Check out the knife they purchased, Item # 180010230712. I'm not positive it's the same one, but it sure looks alot like it. Just buffed and cleaned? Top two photos are the one they purchased, bottom is the one they're selling.

yeah, it's the same knife. she paid $666. no wonder she had her boyfriend pad the bid. these people told me they had a guy that could make them mint. ha!

if you look at the pic of the pattern number, you can see where the stag is not even with the bolsters.

i finally got an answer ftom the seller. quote
"the knife is all original and i guarantee the handles have never been replaced"

casetested, i checked knife.ocd. he's out of kentucky. don't think they're connected.

I concur on knife.ocd, I know him well and he's one of the good guys. He sells a few knives but is a collector and not a dealer.
