Hello. I am brand new here, so if I screw up, please tell me.
I have a Shapleigh Hardware Co. 3-blade Diamond Edge knife. The main tang is imprinted C834 opposite the side with the brand name. I can't find information on this particular model, such as year of production or value.
Any help is appreciated.

Looks like a 4" or so Great Western stockman pattern.Made by Schrade Cutlery for Shapleigh likely after 1930.It's a Great Western because of the long spey blade.Very nice knife.
I would be interested if you what to part with it.

Nice example. Looks like pattern number 6834 to me. Your best source of value is an advanced search of eBay for sold listings of the same or similar items. Search for “Shapleigh stockman knife”, “Diamond Edge stockman knife”, or similar wording. You may not find the exact same knife but it won’t likely differ much from what has been sold.

It is already gone! I fear not getting fair value, but I know I paid next to nothing for the knife, so my time for "what-offing" should stop.
