Older Buck Creek

I have a neighbor who has this older Buck Creek that she acquired a pearl handled buck creek knife back in the 70's. Sorry about the poor picture. 2 blades have Solingen Germany on its one side, all 4 blades have a picture and letters that are bear & bull and 2 have oil the joints on them. I know newer Buck Creek knifes are probably not made in Germany, but what about this older knife? Is this a collectible?
Desirable? Thanks

I would say it is a desireable collectors item. I do doubt it is genuine pearl, more likely celluloid imitation of pearl. Btter pictures would be helpful. I have a few older buck creek knives myself. To my knowledge (at least up until the 1980s) they were made in germany, I thin kthey still are made in germany.
