GEO. Schrade Presto Derby - Seeking Info

Post by buckshot22 »

Found the cool switch in my dad’s collection. Nearly mint - mirror finish, never sharpened or used. Found one post that suggested it was a military issue Paratrooper knife. Can anyone confirm and possibly suggest a value? Thanks in advance!

Not military, but a very fine example-and valuable in this condition.
I'm not a dealer, so I can't give you accurate pricing.

Sweet old switch. ::tu::
Best bet is to do a search and see what these are selling for. I'm guessing just North of around $300. 🤑🤑🤑
