Guys,I have been given a collection of Browning knives to sell for an elderly lady and can't find a single reference book on the darn things as far as their values. Any ideas????

    Some of the limited edition guns had companion collector knives...there should be a marking on each knife to indicate which firearm they corresponded to.....not sure about the value, here's a site that might be able help.....

    Have the knives been used or are they new? Are they part of a set? Pocketknives or fixed blades? Browning first started selling knives in 1969. Some are made in U.S.A.,some in Germany and Japan. All are high quality knives but the early U.S.A. are the most valuable. If you can give us the pattern numbers , where they are made and condition, I will figure a price on your knives. Thanks.

    Sorry about the delay, I have been very busy. I made a copy of the list of knives and will figure a price on each one and reply no later than Saturday. It sounds like you have some pretty nice knives.

    #1 $35.00 #2 $50.00 #3 $75.00 #4 $75.00 #5 $85.00 #6 $75.00 #7 ? #8 ?. I couldn't find any info on the last two knives anywhere. The other prices came from price guides, catalogs and personal expereince. It looks like you have a nice collection of Brownings. I would try to find a Browning collector to sell to. The average knife trader likes to make a fair profit and usually won't pay what the collector will. Hope thi helps you some.
