SOS, for me, was a great show. Sold lots of stuff I wanted to move, and found some items for my collection. Hard for me to pass up any real NPEA, so I bought this one!

I did carefully take it apart, mainly to clean the gunk that had built up next to the original buffer pad. Luckily, the blade was fine underneath.

Now that's something you don't see everyday, a "REAL" NPEA, with all kinds of goodies stamped all over the crossguards. Super blade, nice dark motto and makers mark, very nice find.
