I have that one on my watch list. Could tell it was going to go for a wad of money but $179.01 ?????

There was a bone handled Camillus 69 that went off tonight for $131.51.

Great day for sellers.

I was watching that one . I was also watching a Schrade 863 that went for $22.01.I think I know the buyer of that one.

..........jerry, that's one knife I wish I had a mint example of!!...I've got one of the split-backspring originals with rogers bone that is close to mint, but I really wish I could have gotten that "72".......I bid $105.00 on it and I wasn't even close!!!.............. ...........................

Don't worry Tommy, there will be another to come around, and probably for less money
