He has a bunch more of them. I picked up 4 off ebay from him the other day.

I agree about an honest person and not any of the ebay knife selling crooks we know!!!

I won the auction for the tang stamps. ::ds:: No need to worry about them being used for counterfeiting. I 've got a few other brands as well. Just another branch of knife collecting to me. I really enjoy finding the odd stuff that's associated with the old knife companies. It seems to be harder to find than some of the knives are.

I got the 4 that I bought in the mail today and they will be in my collection also. Great cutlery history pieces.

Keep um locked up tight guys. ::paranoid::
There are plenty of unscrupulous counterfieters out there who would gladly put them to use making fakes.
I agree they make an interesting addition to a collection, but they also pose a threat to the unsuspecting if they end up in the wrong hands.
Glad these went to a couple of the "good guys"! ::nod::
