looks like its gone

It was an NSKK chained. Impossible to tell if it was the real deal without closeups of the chain, but otherwise it looked good.

It was sold off e-bay for 4k. I did not buy it. The man was a bit odd, sold as is and no refunds. Big turn off to me but the dagger did look good.

If this was the same guy, I'll second your thoughts that he was a bit difficult. Here was his e-mail:

sometimes blunt and to the point is the only way to go? at least he says you can pick it up in person.......lol "i am no dummy" thats funny, gotta hand it to the guy.

I would not go near anyone with an attitude like that. Life is way too short to deal with a cantankerous old fart like that.

Mark,

As you know, english isn't my mother tongue and I'm trying to understand what you mean by "cantankerous old fart".
It ain't written in my Webster dictionary.

Ain't? Ain't you got no bring'n up? It's like the English say "old Bean"? The guy sold it for 4k! Would you give a old grump 4k with no returns? Sounds shady.

Pat,

That means Crabby Old Coot. And I think " aint is actually a real word now as well.

Damned, no wonder why I never understood Benny Hill's humor.

Aint aint English aint aint, but aint, aint half useful aint it?

Mark -

The good Lord knows I am not perfect, and I have many faults. I make mistakes as well, but I had to smile when he spelled "intelligence" incorrectly.
