I'm trying to get an idea around when this was made. I was told that the spacer color and configuration can help date it. Also trying to get an idea of it's value. Thanks

Remove the stone to view, and show the snaps snapped will help a little.

Others here will narrow it down for you. Guessing(wild hair) mid to late '70's.

If that left the Shop today, price would be in the $725-750 range. The Johnson sheath can add a hundred bucks more.

Buck,
I don't "price" things..."BUT"...I believe the snap reveal will show baby dots and the spacers are ages red, white, blue, whit red, with the thicker center spacer. Date will be early-mid(ish) 1980's.
Hope this helps,
Capt. Chris

Not in the 70’s Buck. I believe Chris nailed it at the mid 80’s.

I would have to see if that orange hone had the small type on it in order to agree on late 70's..."BUT"...(Ahhh: I feel better already)....Could be. Since we haven't heard anything back on requests for more pics...in the words of Yul Brynner from "The King & I"...

Stay Sharp,
