What is the worth of the schrade scrimshaw knife with the beaded sheath known as the morning star?

Answer 1

Averages $52 to $75 on ebay. Your best value pending condition and original box can be obtained at a gun, firearms and knife show negotiating with dealers $60 to $80 and collectors possible +$118.

Nothing against eBay but there people want deals and may access values from experts in the key lowest suppressed market regions for value or region flooded as a common item. Firearms and Knives show" are the serious collectors market and can weight the value what other dealers are selling similar at plus some these shows in one region the value is poor but in another regional markets (mid-atlantic or mid-west regions vary)

they can fetch higher prices as seen some rare editions fetch $329. It's a matter finding the right regional market, the condition or features ideal for the collector readily pay higher value. Hence, many gun shows these dealers operate 99% on a travel circuit as the buy items low key one region but profit heavy in another.

I suggest if your region hosts gun shows or firearm shows check them out - some dealers can sell for you on consignment - especially local hunting firearms stores but it's 50/50 risk if sold at loss or great sale pending co-signment terms.
