I thought ebay didn't allow auctions of such, but here it is w/ 4 days to go on the clock:

Well, it is gone now.  The Ebay Police must have been alerted.

What was it?

[sactroop]

Cast aluminum knuckleduster handle on a double edge blade.  General theater knife quality for the WW2 era.  Pattern often seen on some Australian and/or New Zealand knives.

Oh yes, included was an original sheath.

One of the Typical New Zealand like this one?..... this is why its important if starting a topic to post pictures as auctions are canceled or ended. 

 

[sactroop]

Yes it was one of those knives and sheaths.

If this thread doesn't prove the saying "pictures or it didn't happen", then I don't know what does.

This ^^^ is nearly identical -- knife and sheath -- to the one that wsa up @ Ebay. I have found the thumbmail image still "up" @ the Collector's Weekly site. I'll post it (note -- it is a small image) + relevant data (number of watcher/bidders and top bid) at the time the auction was "banned" @ Ebay. -L

Yes, very similar:

Note: @ the time it was pulled, the auction was @ 32 bidders, 71 watchers, and the top bid was $355 w/ 16 hours still on the clock.

> I'll make sure to get full pic(s) next time I happen on something like this @ ebay.

Note:

 

Another knuck auction -- looks like a 1918 w/ maybe a modified blade -- that was up @ Ebay for a bit before it, too, was pulled down.... before I could see the full auction. But the "thumb" along w/ some bidding info is staill up @ Collectors Weekly.

 

At 17 watchers and high bid of $47, I think this one was up only a short while before getting pulled. Thus I cannot know the number of bids or the amount of time that remained unitl the auction's conclusion.

 

Here's the thumb photo:

A reproduction, so no great loss there.
