Dogsoldat Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Was visiting a friend that has a barbershop and has all sorts of odds and ends pass thru on consignment and such. Showed me a 1903 The Gibson guitar he recently picked up in a 1898 leather case. A stratavarius violin from Czechslovakia, he was saying it was appraised on the Antique Roadshow. And he also acquired a fair collection on knives. Some Kinfolks, a Kabar Rifle knife, a Jim Frost made in Pakistan that though cheap steel looks well made otherwise. And an 1812 NCO's sword Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCROB Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Hey Mike that sword is really interesting..... Did you get a bunch of snow in Greenwood today ? A bunch more on the way !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogsoldat Posted January 5, 2015 Author Share Posted January 5, 2015 Yeah the sword is interesting have a few more pics of it too. He has it for sale $250 I think. Would have to check. There are 2 marks on the blade but couldn't say what they are supposed to be in terms of makers marks. Been really tempted to buy it but the wife has been giving me the evil eye every time I mention it. Holidays treated you well I hope. 4-5" of fluffy stuff. Just enough to make life interesting.

John McPherson Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 I find it amusing that in an age when someone might have actually used a sword in close combat, that there is a heart on the the guard. Here in the mall ninja age, you can't give a blade away unless it is all covered with skulls, or 'tactical' looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
