Kelly, if that is an upside down V in the tang stamp, the knife was made in 1988. You can determine the year of manufacture of a Buck knife at this site.

Hello again, sorry my search found a 110 details and after i looked at you second picture I realised that the knife was a 112.  The actual details are shown below the year produced is shown as 1991 although I agree that the tang stamp is 1988 as posted by Charles Sample.  I can't explain that.

Not sure why either on the 88 date and the 91 date, not looking to sale this but to keep and pass down to my kids, in the above info this knife is at the least worth $125 ? Or is this something that has become hard to find and worth more being 28 years in this condition ?

Thank you Guys for your help in this very nice Buck loco knife, your info has been helpful and anything else you may find out please let me know, I would like to think that the value is over $125, but I'm sure at under $50 I didn't get hurt at all on the deal
