I visited and antique store yesterday and notice several different styles of knives and one sword that you folks here on this board seem to be interested in. I went back to the store today and took some pictures of the knives so you folks can educate me.

I am going to make a post for each knife. If I post them all in one post then things will get confusing to my education.

Here is the first knife. What is it?

What should I expect to pay for a knife like this? I am not looking for a specific value, but a range of values. I am looking for a price range like $50-$60 or $500-$600 or $5000-$6000.

I checked the forum rules and applying value only applies to on going auctions. I am looking for "Price Guide" values

Sorry, D. No appraisals here, even ranges. If anyone wants to help, they can PM you the info.

Thanks Ariel, I can work with that. Any way to date this knife? Anything special I should look for if I were to consider buying.

Would this type of knife be laminated?

Double D, my apologies for the abrupt post: I was short on time and posting from the office.

I've sent you a PM.
