Okay, I went by and bought the two C-MONs today. I paid $150 for both. I will post pics when I get back home tomorrow or Friday. They look as good as I remember, almost mint. They even have just a bit of red left on the tang and the boxes look brand new. The lady I bought them from said she got them from a barber that had held on to them for many years and said they had hardly been used. Glen, I think I will send them your way to work your magic. You are the C-MON expert!
She also had a Bergfeld & Sohn Globusmen that looked like it had never been honed. It was missing the top to the box. It had a lot of gold wash but had some surface rust on the tang. I think it would have to lose the gold wash in this area, but otherwise it was mint. Any ideas what would be a good price for this one? She had it marked at $125 but I think I could get it for $90-$100.
Thanks,
Tod
