No box, sheath, etc. but very clean with a tight fit and good snap.
Anyone collect these?

I had never come across one of these, before yesterday.

Re: The 560
Several years ago I won a GAW sponsored by Dimitri here on AAPK - the prize was this Buck 560 (mfg 1992) - it is one of my prized Buck Knives. That is a nice one you picked up Bill. You may find the nylon sheath for it on ebay - I see them from time to time when I'm looking for leather 110 sheaths. OH

Re: The 560
Yes, there are several serious collectors. But, I don't have one. The high value is one of the first issues with torx screws in place of rivets so you can take it apart to clean. The scale holes also went completely thru the scales. It also had a pocket clip that was designed to look like a partial scale and screwed to one side and would slide over the edge of you pocket. Stand on your head and you might loose it. In other knife worlds there is lots of information. I bet in the archives here also. 300Bucks
