6th.MG.BN Posted May 19, 2019 Share #1 Posted May 19, 2019 I have never seen one of these for sale before only in Cole's book if I remember correct. From the amount of bids early on should be interesting to watch. ebay#143258192668. I hope someone can post pictures of this m1918 knife.

knucvks7 Posted May 19, 2019 Share #8 Posted May 19, 2019 The knife is 100% correct. One side of the guard has been filed down slightly and it looks like a number stamped on the other side of the guard. It is a nice knife and would be a nice addition to any collection.

ponyradish Posted May 20, 2019 Share #9 Posted May 20, 2019 Did it get booted off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6th.MG.BN Posted May 20, 2019 Author Share #10 Posted May 20, 2019 It looks like it did. I noticed there was a bid retraction just before it got booted off. The last price it was at was around $1550.00? Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sactroop Posted May 26, 2019 Share #18 Posted May 26, 2019 Isn't it still against ebay's policy to sell these? I assumed that's why the auction got pulled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assumed that's why the auction got pulled.As far as I know it is against their policy. You can't even sell them at most gun/military shows in the Northeast.

schmooser Posted May 27, 2019 Share #20 Posted May 27, 2019 I think they purchased ~100 for the promo, so definitely a rarity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
