Hi Guys,
I`ve been offered an Ivory gripped army dagger rig to a common maker. My question is, what do these sell for about, in EXC+++ condition??
I`ve tried to find one on several known dealer sites, but, NONE to be found?
No question as to originality Razz
Your help would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers,
DIon

An Ivory grip Army with a commom maker marked in an E++ condition, would sell for no more than $ 2000 USD.
This price being from a top dealer but it would be much less from a private seller.

It is generally accepted that an Ivory grip will usually increase the value of any TR dagger by about $ 1000 USD.

Hey Guys,

Thanks for the comments. I now have an estimate as to how much to pay. Thanks for that Pat Wink
I didnt think these would top the $2000; mark, but then again, there are`nt that many around to compare with!

Cheers,
Dion

There are a lot existing but they aren´t around because they do stay in collections Wink.
I too think a price around 2000USD would be right.

Dion, thank you for liking this one. Sorry, I cannot imagine let it go during lifetime...

BTW it has the small stamped sqirrel holding sword trademark.
