Well then!! lol thats a pretty good return at the realized $70 value... Astronomical at the $700 mark... And the one we have is in much better shape over both of those... hmmm... For what I paid I may just wanna put it away in a safe..
I really with I could find more out it though...
I dont get how you guys found those... we searched for about two hours last night...
Thanks so much!!
What more is there to find AC,yours is as good if not better than the ones we,ve found,..that one at near $700...does,nt look any better than yours, and the same goes for Mart,s...i,ve found over the years,its not about trying to convince the buyers...they make up their own minds,..curios like this,sell themselves....i had a similar thing a few years ago,..and as you will see it turned out very well for me,........
..5 years ago i was renovating an old apartment...i lifted the flooring to lay new pipework...and discovered a dagger in a scabbard..it was wrapped in an old newspaper dated 1947...i examined it..but it did,nt look like anything special,..the blade was dull, the scabbard was dirty..the handle was painted black..the cross bar was a little loose....i took it home and put it into a drawer...a few months later..my broth-in-law came up to fix my pc...whilst he was here i showed him the dagger.. as i knew he was into old weapons...but he did,nt know anything...later that night i received 4 emails from him....look here he said...they were all ebay item numbers...and when i opened them...i nearly fell off my chair...there were 4 daggers for sale in the US...2 of which were almost identical to mine...both had bids of $2900...reserve not met...and $3400 reserve not met...after i,d read all what was written , i checked mine...mines was No38 of only 100 ever made, they were made for Benito, Mussolini,s Blackshirts...and were much sought after...after approx 2 months..and now armed with as much info as my brain could hold.. i listed it on ebay with a start price of £500 and no reserve...with 10 minutes to go it was sitting at £980..and at 30secs to go £1700....then all hell broke loose..and it went for £4.200...the guy who bought it was a direct descendant of the man who had been given it in 1933...and who whilst in the POW camp in Scotland had traded it for a pack of cigarettes......I,ve told this story to a few people..who have all said...that i was nuts..and that i could have got more....but , i was and still am as happy as a pig in shit...that i made £4.200 for nowt
