First of all cuetek there are others much more qualified than me on giving prices. Most dealers would not give you probably much over your $1000 figure. I've seen some nice War 2 knives, including the sheath in the $4000 to $5000 range. However those usually had provenance that came with them. I think a collector would prefer the longer blade.....most collectors. I'm a collector but I actually like the shorter blade knife. Your problem....IMO will be the sheath condition. The first sheath may clean up a bit but the second can be trashed. Again....IMO. Once a collector buys one they then have to find a replacement sheath. That is extremely difficult to do. I was hoping some of the big time collectors would offer a price. Condition is always very important to a collector.
