SKIPH Posted October 7, 2021 Share #3 Posted October 7, 2021 Price is insane! Plus 20% auction costs? Unless my math is wrong, that's like $4300, plus shipping and insurance. Crazy! SKIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
268th C.A. Posted October 7, 2021 Share #4 Posted October 7, 2021 I hope they pay for it....LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slufstuff Posted October 7, 2021 Share #5 Posted October 7, 2021 Insane price for that condition. A few years ago I sold one in much better condition for a tiny fraction of what these knives bring today. I could kick myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
militariaone Posted October 7, 2021 Share #6 Posted October 7, 2021 That knife was the most expensive individual item sold in the entire auction.🤑 Cha Ching! V/r Lance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siclfde Posted October 7, 2021 Share #7 Posted October 7, 2021 What is also scary is that at least 2 people thought it was worth close to that - unless a shill was biding it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VMI88 Posted October 7, 2021 Share #8 Posted October 7, 2021 Is that really what these are going for now or was this just a fluke? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdk0911 Posted October 7, 2021 Author Share #9 Posted October 7, 2021 the most expensive so far was a civil war cap - big cha ching - over 15K!!!

Spathologist Posted October 7, 2021 Share #10 Posted October 7, 2021 WTH are y'all smoking over here in the toothpick aisle? You could almost get a fair-condition Ames Rifleman's Knife for that.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V/r Lance I should have stated at the time, the auction wasn't completed when I posted. Still a crazy price for a L.F.&C. Mark I.

sundance Posted October 8, 2021 Share #12 Posted October 8, 2021 I know everyone makes a big deal about a sheath with both prongs but that's a bit over the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Usa1918 Posted October 9, 2021 Share #13 Posted October 9, 2021 That knife as well as the signed Patton photo belonged to a friend of mine. He is a bit computer illiterate, so he’ll be pleased whe I see him tomorrow. PS, I have first dibs on his HD&S Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BryanJ Posted October 13, 2021 Share #14 Posted October 13, 2021 Was that the auction that also had the Hollywood uniform props? If so, Lee Van Cleef’s hat from the Good, the Bad and Ugly sold for $11,250! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bodes Posted October 14, 2021 Share #15 Posted October 14, 2021 Another one in nicer shape sold on gunbroker not too long ago for about the same amount....I think the one I have is in about the same condition as the one shown here....Bodes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
