Very nice and very hard to find MSA EXPERT hunting knife. This is the first model of this knife with the cocobolo wood handle and lignum vitae wood pommel. Looks to be the original sheath also. I think it is interesting that the Expert knives were made in far less quantity than either the Ideal or Woodcraft pattern fixed blades and in spite of their scarcity they do not bring the same money as those two models. Your knife being such an early model would still command a significant price. Thanks for showing!

Thank you !
Not being a true knife collector, much less a Marbles or M S A nich person, my concern now is to get it in the hands of someone who can appreciate it.
Any recomendation other than (or including Ebay) to achieve that? I have absolutely no idea of value, but my main concern it to get it into save and appreciative hands.
Again thank you!

I have not done ANYTHING to it. Been really tempted to condition the sheath and wax the blade & handle with Renaissance, but did not. As of now, it is "as found".

Renaissance wax is a good choice and will not harm the handle or blade but that is as far as I would go especially if you are going to sell it.
