Case ?

The W.R. Case & Sons Cutlery Company has a very rich history that began in 1889 when William Russell (“W.R.”), Jean, John, and Andrew Case began fashioning their knives and selling them along a wagon trail in upstate New York. The company has produced countless treasures and it continues to do so as one of the most collected brands in the world.

Hi and welcome to AAPK. Some of the more knowledgeable Case guys should be by to tell you more about your knife, but in the meantime my resource books seem to indicate your knife is an unknown, fairly rare Case pattern from the 1920's with it's original sheath. It's a desirable and collectable old knife. I'll let the Case experts guess of it's value. ___Dave

In all the books on Case Fixed Blades it's listed as an Unknown Pattern with Rogers Bone (Rare) Probably made before 1934 .
Bradley Wood is suppose to be coming out with updated info on these . I can't wait, he did a great job on the info in Sargents Book
Bradley bought the last one I had . ::tu::

Beautiful knife in great condition with the original sheath. 61 pattern. Prices can be a crap shoot but I'd put it in the $200 to $300 range for the right buyer.
If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.

Model 61. That is the proper sheath and rarer than the knife, nice set.
