Check it out, eBay item #311054821551. It has a spot I'll have to remove from the blade but so what. It has a great smile to it!
    Yup, that was the one....beautiful old blade, am looking forward to the restore.

    Great deal on the one you got, just amazes me, a gorgeous vintage Greaves like that, doubt I'll ever buy a new production blade again...congrats!

    Did you happen to look at the bids on the one I got Phrank? I think I won it by $0.44 or something like that.

    LOL - but isn't that the way to win?

    I usually only place one bid with an auto-limit 5 seconds before the end of the auction and I win or lose, because in the end, the only bid that counts is the winning one. Good catch...bullseye!

    I won mine by sniping it but when I do a manual bid, I put the bid in & click submit right at 2 seconds because my Macbook Pro has 8 gb's ram & it's fast!
