Hi Peter,   Bob Hudson started a post August 12  2020 showing an unopened carton of them he had acquired and was asking should he open them.   move forward to 2023 and another forum member assessed them as being worth $1,100 US dollars.  But I wouldn't get anything near that for the three I have left .         Norman D.

T-28 and Budd jeeps. I don’t remember either of them. Always an education around here.  👨‍🎓 mikie

If you don't get the info you're looking for here, I recommend Brian Akins at RebelRelics.com. He mostly deals in blades, specifically Confederate Bowies/D-guards. Good luck!
