Superb knife!! Can't see condition from poor photos, but these never go for 3-500 on ebay, more like 800-1,000 in nice condition. Your knife was made between late 1920s-about 1941.

That's a nice find. Just based on me trying to find dogs head knives the jumbo trapper in stag is probably the third hardest pattern/handle combination to find. I haven't seen one for sale on an open forum. I've had a chance to purchase one privately for 300 but half of each blade was sharpened off. A minty one sold at a knife show last year for around $1200.00.
