H&R stag folding hunter

[CCBill]

Hi, ya'll...
I can't seem to find any info on this knife. It is a Hen& Rooster, stag folding hunter. The pattern number is 512 DS. Do any of you know what this knife sells for. Is it very similar to the Boker, that retails for about $160. Seems like H&R's are harder to find. Beautiful knife. NM++
I would certainly appreciate any help.

Ok, I came up with a weird figure, so this is by no means 100%
went RBR scales,

The guide's only listing for the 2007 (5th) edition, and cross referenced with the 4th edition lists Hen & Rooster, Spain (Unauthorized stamp) which struck me as weird.

But this is the figure I came up with:

Hen & Rooster: (180)
Folding Hunter (common/recent): (90)
Handle Material Stag (European or American): (150)
Condition: I went ahead with .99% mint (use your judgement on that one)

So assuming by the picture I picked all the right categories:
180 x .90 x 1.50 x .99 = $240.57

Now the book lists there low high values at or around $50-$125
So I am not comfortable with that figure, so I did the same for Boker, I came up with $167.06, which you said $160 which is pretty darn close in the ballpark.
So I looked on E-bay, and found 3 pages of hen & roosters, none like yours, but they do not run that expensive at all.

AH!!! But the story goes on!!!

So I went to my older 1984 reference book that had a blurb about Hen & Rooster which also references Fife Cutlery Co using the H&R stamp and Bertram using H&R.
Now Fife is listed as 1968-74, Mt Sterling, KY (I am guessing this knife is not theirs) but we will list their # (130)

Bertram has 2 listings:
Bertram C. (Hen & Rooster) Solingen, GER (c.1872-1980) (250)
Bertram Hen & Rooster (1981-Present) (150)

So, depending where this knife was made and when will determine its Value, (I am Guessing Bertram 1981-Pres, myself)
But here is the breakdown:
H&R Spain: $240.57
Fife H&R: $173.75
Bertram H&R 1872-1980: $334.13
Bertram H&R `81-pres: $200.48

You can adjust the figure on Condition how you like, if it is lower than 99% say 95% go with .95 in your figure.
Hope this gives you a ball park figure, as it kept me busy for about 30 minutes doing research, like I said I was not comfortable with the 1st figure, so I started digging. And there are other factors, that I could be wrong on, if it was and older style hunter etc, or the handle material, which will have some impact on value.

Hope this helps, as I have enjoyed the research!

Wow! I'm impressed! Thanks for going to all that trouble. I appreciate it.
It was made in the last 10 years, or so. I posted some pictures of it in the Knife Trading forum, s good while back and really didn't get much response(lousy pics). Might just put it in there again. Thanks again.

Hi CCBill. If you are interested in trading that knife, I have a MIB Queen Cutlery two- blade folding hunter with curly maple handles that I would like to trade. If you are interested send me a pm and if not thanks for your time.
