Big fat Heljestrand
So, I won this big fat Heljestrand today, anyone seen one so wide?
Will be very interesting to see what "Mk" number it has, and to measure the width. Hopefully she will clean up well, looks pretty ok in the picture.

I'm fairly sure it is the widest Heljestrand I've ever seen. Nice grab.

Now if I had seen that one you would have paid a heck of a lot more or maybe I would be the happy winner.
That is a beauty. Heljestrands are one of my absolute favorite brands and I have never seen one that large. You're a lucky guy.
Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

Nice! Here's one I got from CJBianco. It doesn't have an MK number, but it's a 7/8. Too bad the toe is shortened, but it's a really close one pass shave for me. And the ivory is a nice pattern too. Yours looks like it could clean up well

No he wouldn't - I did see it, but it wasn't available to us outside of the Nordic countries. What did surprise me though, is that one other long standing SRP member who was in the race too didn't bid higher. We are all already green with envy as it is, so I won't disclose the height of the winning bid...

Congratulations Cako72! Make sure to keep us posted on the type, and treat us with some pics too after you've polished it up, please!
