Can anyone give me a rough estimate on this knife I acquired I'm pretty sure by the marking on it its a 1925-1948 or something like that I can't remember now but I heard it's pretty rare being a pocket knife and I had some offers and just wanted a little better idea of what it's true value is. Thanks in advance

Not an original period Kinfolks brand knife. Maybe a knife commissioned by Jim Parker in the 1980's. I have no idea of what the value is.

I agree. It looks like one of those Parker had made in the Olbertz factory (Solingen Gernany) in the 1990's. Its not an "original" Kinfolks. Probably a good knife to carry, but not a "vintage" 1920-1940 knife by any means. IIRC Parker called them "reproductions", even though they weren't copies of an original pattern made by the company whose name was stamped on them.
