Jack's Son Posted October 13, 2012 Share #8 Posted October 13, 2012 The knife is in good overall shape, just very worn. For collectors who like the "been there" look (Tim), I think it may go as high as 3K. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKIPH Posted October 13, 2012 Author Share #9 Posted October 13, 2012 Jack's Son- You really think it will hit $3000? I honestly can't imagine it getting that high. But, have seen stranger things. SKIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack's Son Posted October 13, 2012 Share #10 Posted October 13, 2012 Skip, With the number of collectors out there that are buying worn style knives, plus the fact it is a V-42, I think we may be surprised. I think the knife looks good even though it is worn. The ware is "gentle" if that word makes sense, and it has a degree of character. It's not my style, but it is one of a very few knives of that type I could see myself owning. PS....I have two that are in very good shape.

Besides add to it that it is on the Bay and that price wouldn't surprise me. Stopped keeping track of the items I've seen sell on the Bay for over double and more, what I would expect for it locally.

I donT follow eby very oftenBut I recal a few of these that sold in the last few month for $1700 or less in comparable condition.I think one had a replaced handle,having the clear plastic spacers like the "theatre"made knives.This replaced handled one I recal brought around $1250-ish.Seen a couple nice ones for under $2800.

As much as I'd love to own it, it's too high for me (right now) given my recent addiction to WWII USMC gear - http://www.usmilitariaforum.com/forums/index.php?/topic/157631-my-wwii-usmc-mannequin-display/ Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack's Son Posted October 20, 2012 Share #15 Posted October 20, 2012 My 3K seems a bit high for sure. Unless there is a BIG finish, I'm guilty of over-guessing!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SKIPH Posted October 22, 2012 Author Share #20 Posted October 22, 2012 I see it's at $1150, and still 3+ hours to go. SKIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saddler Posted October 22, 2012 Share #21 Posted October 22, 2012 Picture. From sellers description "Leather scabbard is in good, used condition" Maybe the definition of "good" has changed since I last checked - that scabbard is WRECKED!! From the photos of the M6 Viner on the listing I'd be most surprised if the scabbard even survives being posted to the new owner! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SKIPH Posted October 22, 2012 Author Share #23 Posted October 22, 2012 Ron-You said it would get up there in price. I was skeptical. $2037 is a higher price than I figured it would go for. SKIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doyler Posted October 22, 2012 Share #25 Posted October 22, 2012 I was actually thinking it would be between $1500-$1800 never know with ebay.I heard of one selling a month ago at a gun show for $750.From what a friend decribed it as it was in the same condition range as this one.
