This set is approaching 30 years old, but Boker knives in general are a little underpriced right now in my opinion. They generally take about 20 years just to gain back the original MSRP price. In 1990 the MSRP of these knives would have been: $35 for the 93H; $40 for the 1004; and $70 for the 2002 pattern. Nowadays, I see them sell individually for about $50, $60, and $80.</p>
<p>For some reason, they seem to bring more by selling each knife individually than as a complete set. The set currently may bring about $125-$175 max.</p>
<p>This is the first set I've ever seen marked like this. Since so little is known about this set, it most likely will hurt the resale value, not help. Don't take any of this as absolute, it's just an educated guess based on years of watching Boker knives sell online. You could get a couple of quail hunters bidding against one another and sell it for thousands of dollars!</p>
<p>I hope you do well on it, because it's a good looking set.</p>

<p>Nice set, first time I saw something like that. Could be something made for the European market.</p>
