I would definitely say it will be more than the current bid $20.50. Do you think the scales are original and the dye has faded or a mismatched pair. I like it the way it is, the $60 aus of postage would put me off as bit though (unless I could get it for not much more than the current price :)).
Yes, I don't think it will be cheap in the end.

It looks like Cheetah put some oven cleaner on the scales! :rolleyes:
i actually like the two tone color horn scales
Now we know that for sure....:)Quote:

Personally I'm looking at those as restoration projects!
That style of blade works great with both modern and classically styled scales, and the heavy grind and deep etching means you can really work to get a decent finish on the blades without worrying too much about burning through the steel.
But I agree they'll likely go for more than $20! Nice looking blades and you could definitely turn them into something pretty special :)
Over $60.00 now.
Of course, now that its been posted on here, the price is going to go up even more. Thanks a lot Bongo =P
Looks to be a 7/8 so its not gonna get stupid money, and its not an FBU but its still going to sell for more than its worth.
Having just seen the restoration job that KrytonsJaw did on the Joseph Rodgers Dutch Rattler, I'd love to see him work his magic on this.
