inherited knife, looking for info so that I can sell on eBay...the end with "Barlow" engraved looks like it has been burnished, bone handle, 3 3/8" closed. Is this vintage?

1970's to 80's...knife was made by Colonial Knife Company with the genuine stag handles added by Colonel Coon. Search AAPK, there are many threads with info about Col Coon knives.
