The Need

Similar to my first request, please take a look at this and the other postings I have similar to this one and share with me what you know about it. My goal is to use the information you provide to properly market and sell these knives to get a reasonable sale price while letting the buyer enjoy the full value of the piece.

Colonial Folder – What I Think I Know

This is what I believe to be true so far about this knife:

• It’s a lock back folder
• Scales look to be blue-green Delrin
• Only markings is what is pictured
• Knife is 3" closed; 5.25" opened

What I want to Know

Based on the bullet info above and judging the best you can from the photos, I would like to know the following:

• Estimate year of knife manufacture?
• Are the scales Delrin?
• Is this a true Colonial knife or a wanna-be?
• Are the blades Carbon steel or badly pitted SS?
• Should I clean & polish it or leave it as is?
• What, in your opinion, is the value of the knife?
• What, in your opinion, is a good sale price?

Please feel free to ask me questions, request additional photos, or whatever in order to assist you in your evaluations. Please also feel free to correct my understandings with additional facts, as I want the best info I can get to support the sale.

Thank you for your comments and assistance – it is greatly appreciated!
