    I dont know, but the pivot pin doesnt look right to me. But the again, what do I know. I know we usually dont talk about current auctions, but I will probably forget about this before I get home and wont post about it.

    What doesn't look right at pivot pin? Is the same as non pivot washer. A bit too rich for me.

    All looks fine to me. All except the price.

    Gave $19 for mine.

    The pictures do not warrant a bid from my perspective. It is very old, however if the steel is rotten, it’s not worth much.

    Too rich for me, but i like the little extra hollow grind in the spine. That is a different touch.

    Pretty cool looking with the pipe (or is that a hammer?).
    Guess people are probably bidding upon that unique distinction.
    I wonder if we will ever see it in the workshop thread..

    I thought that pivot pin looked a bunch cleaner than the wedge pin. Maybe it had been apart. Outback, I will give you 22 dollars for yours. That’s a hefty profit and I will pay for shipping!

    Wel that one sold for $231.50. I guess because it was from the us revolutionary war that it sold for that amount. Maybe it belonged to bendict arnold?
