Welcome.The best thing you can do for your self is to buy a good book on knife trading.You can go to Amazon and git" The Blades Guide to knives"right now for about $8.00 and it is a good source of information for Case.There is several books just dedicated to the collecting of Case knives.It is the most wrote about Brand on the market.All that said,one of thees Case experts that we are so lucky to have at AAPK will answer your question soon I am sure.My opinion on the condition if the age you said is corect than I would say very good at the least.A very good way to git an idea of price is to look on eBay and see what that model is bringing for the same condition knife.I hope this helped you.P.S. There is a lot of good info on Case right hear on AAPK at Articles & Research on the top of the page.Good luck.
