Welcome Home...THANK YOU FOR BEING A PART OF OUR COMMUNITY

Just picked this up. Being shipped to me. Buck vanguard gut hook. 1968 date stamp. Can't find any more info on it as far as value or how rare a 68 might be. Any ideas?

I don't know much about this Buck. Date marks are Buck over USA .1968 I believe  with no model number. Knife is being shipped to me.  Any ideas about the model and so on? I can't find any info online.

Excellent research I did not know Buck over USA =1968. I think I will be tagging this discussion for reference. we always get Buck date and value questions. Good stuff!
