The KA-BAR brand originated as a trademark of the Tidioute Cutlery Company. Tidioute was later taken over & renamed the Union Cutlery Company which continued making the brand until Union eventually adopted it as the company name in 1952. Cutco Corporation later acquired the company in 1996.

One like it sold on eBay here in the States for $65 USD and one like it did not sell for $89.99 USD.

$105 is not really that much out of line with what some sellers are asking for stag doghead KA-BARs. Since the knife is offered in France where you wouldn't expect to see as many of these knives as you do in the States, there is a whole different dynamic going on so $105 - $132 USD may not be out of line at all. You're more familiar with the European market than I so you have to make the call.
