An interesting year. Yes, full SPLIT band specimens are rare and valuable, and negotiable if certified. Yours however has bands with wear, due to a weak strike and circulation wear. I assure you it's worth about a dollar and a half. The designer was Adolph Weinman, hence, the "W." Great that your hunting together outdoors!!
