Thread: This one is catching a bunch of bids

And MrZ....We like to have levity wherever we can. Just having fun!

+1 to that!

Hummmm i jave one that looks just the same... im almost sure the scales are horn very old... its almost wedge.... but no marks on this one's tang... u guys think its the same manufacturer???

Who knows, Gabe?

Anyhoo.....29 bids and 25 bucks. Big money at work!

My opinion... an active auction should not be posted unless its yours.
A buy it now should have no problems.
If your enterested in something and want opinions then dl the pics and post them without links. It might be a little safer that way.

But what do i know.

Yes, simply linking to an auction is a waste of forum space without a picture.
The pictures go away after a while and then there is a thread with no way to see what it is about.

Also that razor is not 1840s, it is 1830-37 from the King William mark. I don't know where he got that bit about piquee-pinning only lasting from 1840-50. That is... not right. And the escutcheon plate is likely a base metal and not actual silver.

So it's ScienceGuy who is running up the bids!!

Haha I save my effort for the nicer pieces

It's not against the rules here but it's kind of lousy form... You can ask a lady what she weighs or what her age is, you have freedom of speech here, but do you...
