Unknown Gerber Knife

So I was exploring off trail in some woods near my college and I found this knife. It's a Gerber knife, and relatively new so unlikely to be particularly valuable or anything, I was just wondering what specifically it is. Also, it has a really odd latching mechanism where there's a metal piece which...

Could anyone help identify the age of this Laguiole Bougna folding knife?

I bought this about a year ago in a little market in Paris for about 20 euro. Just wondering how old it might be. Also, if anyone could give a value estimate that would be great - I'm probably never going to sell it, but I'm just wondering what it might be worth. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/C6...

Re: Can someone identify the year of this Rostfrei switchblade?

Thanks for the information. I probably won't list it - I like the idea of starting a little knife collection. I was just wondering what kind of value I was looking at. Thanks again.

Re: Can someone identify the year of this Rostfrei switchblade?

I dug through my collection and found one just like this except mine does not have a "4" under the script "Rostfrei". Maybe the blade could be a 0.25 inch longer which would make it 3.75" vs the 3.5" it actually is as measured from the top of the bolster, not the top of the swing guard. Interesting...

Re: Can someone identify the year of this Rostfrei switchblade?

Welcome Username Don't worry it's always hard to post photographs here at first.. It looks to me like their is a 4 under the slanted Rostfrei...is this correct? I agree with Chris that It's a nice early 60s swinguard .It was built in the cottage industry in Maniago Italy and is a very nice knife wi...

The length, opened, is about 8". The blade is about 3 1/4".
If you still can't see the pictures, here's a link to a shared google pictures album.

Can someone identify the year of this Rostfrei switchblade?

I found this a while ago, not sure when it was made. Looks a bit like something from the 60s based on my preliminary research, although I'm hardly an expert. Any ideas? https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/4GMmHS0b2S90EZtrYHoxv3wG661sbM9g-K1C8qhN1TYXsY3zjREjZaBoU1gVBf_zk7WCI1lOrPhzdvyufKYIufXe5o44xAdmV...
