My local pawn shop has 4 early Portland Kershaw display fixed blade knives...Two of them are on wooden bases with plastic covers.One with a Buffalos head and the other with a Bucks head and antlers.The other 2 are in presentation boxes,one with an Eagle the other with a rams horn. All of the heads appear to be made of brass....I have never seen these kinda Kershaw's before,does anyone know what the value might be?...sorry,I didn't get any pics.
Any help will be very much appreciated. ::tu::

I don't know what their current value is but their issue price was around $150 if I recall correctly.I believe they were designed by Jim Pugh of Azle TX;he did a lot of custom knives with animal head pommels and blades cut out with animals in the opening.
I have the Eagle and the Ram and also another that is similar to a German bayonet(couldn't find the pic of that one).Sorry for the lousy pictures.I saw the Ram on e-Bay awhile back and I think it sold for around $200.
