Case Knife Help

Hello once again gentlemen! I have been trying to find out some info on a knife again. This one is a Case 5165 with SS under it. On the other side of the blade it reads, (line 1) Case xx, (line 2) dot ss dot, (line 3) USA. There is also a lovely buck and doe etched into the blade along with some mountains. Now I know you guys said to watch eBay and check out auctions to see what they are going for, but this one isn't to be found on there. It has on the box, 1988 Deer Commemorative Limited Edition, One of 350. Now here is my question, (please don't laugh :? ), When I'm looking at the Case name on the stag, the numbers on the bolster on the right say 001. Now is this the first knife of that edition? OR is it an upside down 100? Can't really tell. If I turn it to look like it says 100, then the word case is upside down and the numbering is on the left. (ARE YOU GUYS LAUGHING AT ME? :evil: ) I would appreciate your help on this---and if I win the lottery tonight, I'll throw you all a big party :mrgreen:

5 = Genuine Stag, Second Cut Stag, Red Stag, or Midnight Stag
1 = number of blades
65 = These are 5 1/4" clasp style knives that are called folding hunters by most collectors. The single-bladed version always has a clip blade.
SS = Stainless Steel
I believe you are reading that right as being 001 of 350. ::tu::

OK! Thanks for the help! Maybe I should hang on to this knife since it is probably the first one out of the 350. :lol:
