Good eye Sam!

This one looks like a scam to me.

Note the invite to "skip the bidding process" and buy the knife outright for $1,500. - far lower than its true value.

I have a comprehensive set of eight photos of this knife (serial #269), including the sheath which I saved from an eBay auction of several years ago It sold for US$3,900!!!

I doubt very much that the present seller is actually in possession of the knife.

I have reported this auction to eBay for investigation.

By the way, I'm surprised there are already 9 bidders.

BUYERS BEWARE!

Cheers!

David

That S/N 269 has been around for literally YEARS - it struck my brain cells as Moosehead stated from previous Ebay offerings though I didn't go so far as to save the info.
BUYER - REALLY BEWARE esp. with literally no feedback and a reserve price.

Thanks David. I can't believe it's over $1500 now. Unless it's his buddies doing the bidding to entice others.
EBay should be aware of it. Thanks for looking oking out for the community.
That $1500 offer is a dead giveaway. Unbelievable.

Regards, Sam
