Here's a repo of this pattern knife, made for Jim Parker in the early 80's.

I found the smallest version of the Marbles Folding hunters in an antique shop a few years back, in the origional sheath, with stag scales in very nice condition for the affordable price of $12. I didn't haggle. When I got in the car my wife looked at me and said, you're shaking. I said it's my heart. I'll be OK in a week or two.

One of the coolest knives ever made, and a good example of the genius of Webster Marbles. I've got one of the newer china made ones and it's sometimes in my hunting jacket pocket.
A similar story to DJknives: A few years ago I was at an antique store, and there was a box of knives on the counter. I went through the first few, seems like someone had told the owner of the shop that all old knives were worth a lot of money, as all were marked at around $70, even shell handle Imperials. But there it was... a big safety folder in stag, in remarkable condition. I talked the nice lady down to $65. Got about ten times that on ebay for it. But $12, DJ? Great find.
