Hi gents,

There is Romanian presentation dagger on EBay that according to the seller was given as a gift to US secretary of defense William Cohen by the minister of defense of Romania Victor Babiuc.

Romanian presentation dagger

Story sound legit but the price is too high. What do you think?

Regards,

Alex

I bought a dagger that was presented to Cohen by the Philippines Department of Defense at his meeting with them. I bought it from the X son in law. So I can believe some counties gave him daggers. Which, according to the seller, he immediately tried to get rid of by giving them to family. This was some time ago.
Mine came with a photo of him at the meeting.

I think I paid around $200 for it.

Always remember, buy the dagger and not the story. You have a Romanian Army dagger with a new seal placed over it. Romanian daggers sell for about $100.

So, you decide.

Thanks Jim! I already have boxed Romanian dagger and was not planning to buy this one. It just look unusual and I want to share it

Jim,

"Buy the dagger, not the story". An excellent mantra in this hobby!

Thanks Billy,
One of the many things I learned on this forum.
