Its a Western Cutlery Co. WESTMARK line model 702. Western started the Westmark line in 1970 with the 701. Not sure if the 702 and 703 came out the same year or the next year. The details are fuzzy about the line. They are serial numbered, but there is no master list that tells what numbers were made what year.

There were lots of them made, total numbers are unknown. How limited?? Mainly a marketing spiel by Western, although they were not made in the same numbers as other long term models.

How much is it worth?? Good question. Sometimes they go relatively cheap, sometimes out the roof. Depends on condition, sheath condition, box or not, and most of all who's looking for your Westmark model when you're selling. Best thing to do with WESTMARKs is to look at past ebay auctions.
