Another Ebay Gem!

Hey Gang! Just found this M3 on ebay, #186451696887.  What a gem!  Scabbard has been rebuilt with leather hanger, and the handle is gone. The seller describes it as a "vintage bayonet" , and the handle as "designed for easy use". Starting price around $33, w/ a couple of hours to go. Checked out this sellers other items, does have edged weapons for sale. Great embellishment!  SKIP

The knife is perfect for anyone interested in military history or those who appreciate the artistry of vintage weapons.

He had this thing for sale, too.  Early JPSK?  Haven’t seen one like it before..

 

Apparently engraved with an eagle and the words combat knife.. but I’m not sure I trust his listing skills.  

 

These new AI descriptions have certainly been interesting.

there are a lot of people on eBay and the like who buy things they are confident they can sell for about a 100% mark up.  Folks like that can't find much time to make themselves expert in the things they sell, nor are they likely to feel a need to.

Good advice. I passed on it as I feel the same. I will pay for a nice piece but not a shot in the dark. Thanks again for advice.
