to AAPK GK!

Nice offering yo got there. I have a similar Stockman that a friend of mine (member here) gave to me for my son. Its a 4434 as opposed to your 4433 but along the same lines.
A very good friend of mine who lives in Georgia still carries his fathers 4434.

Imperial Frintier Powder Horn knives are still some of my favorites. I just wish I had the coin to snatch up all the Frontiers I come across.

This was owned by my father as well, but never used. It was still in it's plastic sleeve when I found it. Since then, my father has past and I'm in a very bad financial situation. I need money ASAP which is why I'm selling these. I have others I plan to sell as well.

I had assumed given it's age it would be worth quite a bit. I just hope I'm able to actually sell it.

By the way, feel free to make offers here too. I have no problem canceling the ebay auction and selling it to anyone who offers me something worth while. I need money real bad right now.

I thought you might be interested in a Frontier sales sheet, showing your knife, among others.

http://www.collectors-of-schrades-r.us/ ... -76-11.htm

While it is very cool that the knife is like new, with original packaging, you should not be disappointed if it doesn't reach $100, IMO. There were a tremendous number of those knives made, and the collector's market for the mark is somewhat overlooked.

It might be worth keeping for the sentimental value it seems to hold. Just a thought.

Anyway, this is only my opinion, and I wish you the best of luck on a price, if you need to sell it.

welcome to aapk, as ellobo mentioned, these are not very valuble knives as far as monetary value goes, $20-$25 maximum and that's if someone really likes it.

uugh. That didn't sound right at all, did it?

He's no longer in mint condition but since he unemplyed right now, I guess you could call him unused.

Carbon.
I'm sure someone will correct me if i'm wrong but I think they were also made under contract by Camillus for Schrade/Imperial.
