Hey musikchoo, nice Case XX! I believe this knife to be from the 70s. It's known as a Folding Hunter pattern. Nickel silver bolsters, scrolled and scrimshaw bone handles.
Definitely worth keepin IMO. Worth is all subjective, you need the right people lookin at it and all the right circumstances to get the most money. I would venture a guess at between $75 to $150 on a good day.
Thanks for the info, Signaholic!!

Thank You for your interest and help with identifying my Case Knife. This picture is of the back of the presentation case tells the story of the knife. I opened the knife and the information is correct on the Blade. The Handle is Bone as you can see in the description in this photo. Now if you can translate this info for me, I will have my answer on this item!!
Thanks again:
John
