Saw it at the local antique shop (no pics yet)and am curious about it. Blade shows a lot of sharpening but it locks up tight with no blade peek.Has a bail also. Trying to figure out a fair offer for it.Don't really need another knife but it is one I don't have.Any suggestions? Will try to get pics after the holiday.Forgot to add;oal is about 5 inches closed.

They came in 2 sizes & seem to go for about 100 to 250 lately depending on condition ..... minty would be a bit higher. Is it like this?

That's the one! It's nowhere nearly as nice as that one though.

Handles are not solid iron, they are stamped sheet steel and hollow. I have seen mint ones etched Commando on the blade. Cool knives, no doubt.
