Flea Market knife ID/value question.

A local flea market has a knife I'm interested in. It is a Stag hunting knife with an approx 6" blade. Appears to be fairly old. Come with very dry rotted sheath that apparently was for a 2 knife set up. Only markings on blade were MER Solingen. Asking $60.
Looks very much like this knife. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-EIG...872?pt=Collectible_Knives&hash=item5411359bf8

I can find nothing on a Solingen MER manufacturer. Anyone know anything about them? Good knife? Worth the $60.?
 
Fatstrat, I'm no expert but after looking up MER it is not a brand but a place- Solingen-Merscheid is home to many knife and gun makers and which one made that knife I can't tell. I do know that old solingen knives I restored used good steel and if knife in good shape, not rusted, sheath good then that is probably fair price.
