Screamingeagles101 Posted May 24, 2018 Share #1 Posted May 24, 2018 Finally added one to my collection. Nice and mint. Cost a pretty penny but well worth it. I’d assume the soldier acquired it while overseas in China. Still has its nice mint scabbard.

Les George Posted May 24, 2018 Share #2 Posted May 24, 2018 brother, I hate to be the one, but that is a newly made knock off. I think they go for about $20 all day long..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jw517 Posted May 24, 2018 Share #6 Posted May 24, 2018 It's a nice knife. If you like it,that's all that matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Screamingeagles101 Posted May 24, 2018 Author Share #7 Posted May 24, 2018 Unfortunately the real ones are untouchable and that’s even if you can find one. It’s a nice display piece though. Only cost $20 I always wanted a real one, but cannot find any, so this one will hold its place until I do.

sundance Posted May 24, 2018 Share #9 Posted May 24, 2018 I think we all knew (or certainly hoped) you were kidding. Even I know that's not a 100 year old original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonesy1275 Posted May 24, 2018 Share #11 Posted May 24, 2018 I found two whilst on a business trip to Georgia and Texas back in the Jan/Feb this year. Asking price was $750 for one and $650 for the other. I didn't buy them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knucvks7 Posted May 24, 2018 Share #12 Posted May 24, 2018 If they were complete and in nice condition, $750 and $650 might have been decent prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonesy1275 Posted May 24, 2018 Share #13 Posted May 24, 2018 Both complete with complete unbroken scabbards. The $750 was Au Lion and the $650 was LFC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knucvks7 Posted May 24, 2018 Share #15 Posted May 24, 2018 If the prongs were still attached to the scabbards and the blades were in good condition, those were fair starting prices. If you go back to the location, try negotiating. You are not going to find decent knives much cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormrider59 Posted May 25, 2018 Share #18 Posted May 25, 2018 I'm honestly surprised those are legal in NY. My local militaria dealer was a WWI collector and had some real screamers in his collection. I have his Au Lion and minty LF&C. I think he may have another really nice one available if you're in the market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BILL THE PATCH Posted May 25, 2018 Share #22 Posted May 25, 2018 I would buy one a at 20.00 , but where? Sent from my Moto G (5) Plus using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usmce4 Posted May 30, 2018 Share #23 Posted May 30, 2018 I would buy one a at 20.00 , but where? Sent from my Moto G (5) Plus using Tapatalk Google "Eagle Arms Gun Shows" They have a PA show very close to the NY state line - if memory serves it's in Wind Gap. There are several dealers there who have those - I always wondered why, but now that I read they are illegal in NY I understand because the parking lot is full of NY plates. So I guess the dealers know what sells. They also sell "specialized" ammo and magazines that I always assumed were illegal in NY because I see guys buying the ammo by the case and mags by the box. I guess it's the old "if you say I can't have it, I want it" syndrome. PS- If the NY Troopers are waiting at the state line don't call me for bail $$$ Art Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
