Description: The 1983 Case New Grind Trapper Set is indeed a limited edition, with only 2,500 sets made. The set that is currently for sale is #1521/2500. These knives were produced to celebrate the launch of the New Grind blade and are considered harder to find as time goes on, especially with them not being made anymore. Here's a breakdown of the details you shared: Key Features of the 1983 Case New Grind Trapper Set: Limited Edition: Only 2,500 sets produced, which increases their rarity and value. Patterns: 6207 6249 (notably the first year this pattern featured the Spey blade) 6254 Unique Blade Grind: These knives feature the New Grind blade that Case produced for only three years, making them especially valuable. Etching: The blades are etched with the WR Case & Sons Cutlery 1983 Trapper Set inscription, which further authenticates the set's significance. Handles: The blood-red jigged bone handles are an old style with no chips or cracks, giving them a beautiful vintage look. Bolsters: The bolsters are stamped 1727, which is part of the identification for this set. Spey Blade in the 6249 Copperhead Pattern: As you mentioned, the 6249 Copperhead is significant for being the first year it was built with the Spey blade. Given the historical significance, limited production, and pristine condition you described, this set would definitely appeal to serious Case collectors and could have significant value.
