Thule,
I also saw 2 beautiful Luft daggers on thursday morning on Brian and Tom's table but when I came back later on in the afternoon, both daggers had already been sold.
I first wanted to get around and see if I couldn't get it from a private collector.
Tom and Brian aren't exactly "bargain" retailers.
I missed a near mint early SS Boker for only $ 3500 from a private collector.
Well, you can't always win.
