Smashed off an e-mail a few minutes ago. Thanks Alan.
Meanwhile, here's a bit of gold-dust from Jdee over on AHN:
In reply to:
Your friend is very lucky - this knife is known as a Swinglock and was designed by Barry Wood originally for Colt circa 1969. They are very collectable and I would estimate its value in the region of $400 dependant on the buyer if you go by some of the prices being paid in the US for these type knives. It looks like its in good condition and I'd keep it that way and make it a "safe queen".
I have passed this info on to the owner.
