I'm looking for some information, and hope you can help. Any and all info is appreciated.

I believe it to be a 70's era Eye Brand, but not sure. Is this the 3 eye knife? These pics were sent to me, I don't have the knife in hand, so this is all I have to go by.

If it is possible, or allowed, is there an approximate value range, or can you point me in the right direction to find out? If that is not allowed, please forgive me and I will edit my post.

That is the classic 3 eye knife. Two eyes on the blade and one on the tang. The tang stamp dates from the mid-to late 1970s to 1981.
Not a thing wrong with asking about values but I will tell you that values are all over the place on that pattern. Believe it or not, I had one that sold for nearly $200 on eBay.
I haven't sold one for the past 8 months or so, but I would GUESS it should be selling for something in the $75 range. Most that sell on the bay are not in as good of condition as this one but you can go on eBay and do an advanced search for 'SOLD' listings.
It is a great knife and one of my absolute favorite patterns. I carried one hunting for many years.

EDIT: I went to the bay to check prices and found 2 nice ones . Both seem to have sold for over $100. Others sold in the $35 or so range. - Ray
