Thread: Two straights, two gambles

Both ebay finds. Both vendors provided pics that were difficult to judge.
Both vendors provided minimal details of the condition of the blades.
I broke my usual rules(and my common sense) and bought both . I hope I don't regret it.
These are the vendors pics.

The first is a Gotta for AUD$15.00. I'm guessing 6/8" leaning towards 13/16".
With double stabilizers and a healthy silhouette, I'm cautiously optimistic.
The scales are toast, which might account for the lack of bidders.




The second is an Imperial Razor Co. with slightly better pics for AUD$39.00.
The pics give a slightly better description,once again I'm guessing 6/8" to 13/16".
The vendor says "condition as pictured", looks like a nice engraved blade.
The scales "seem" to be O.K.
