Terry -- sounds like you and I have very similar Bones. Mine is an upswept hunter, 5", same brass hardware, same stamp on the front, C450 on the other side, same sheath. I bought it from a guy in Alaska who used it for about 30 years as an annual hunter, but it's still in great shape. May be the sharpest knife I own, certainly has a ton of character.
Lucky17, yes, I've also seen Bone folders go for several hundred, tho 490 would be the highest I think I've heard of. Great knives, seem to be well worth collecting. As an aside, I once heard that DeLeon was a student of Mr Bone, tho I can't confirm that.
