Josh, it sure looks like there is something there, not like in your pics. I would be pissed too.

I think there is some kind of odd camera effect in the seller's photo. I tried inverting his photo and yours, and they look somewhat closer. Since the pin hole is visible in both, I do not think there was a shield.

thanks fellas appreciate opinions!!!!!!
i been staring at his pics....and i THOUGHT it had TIN FOIL glued in there for his pix.......
but ..... i took a alcohol pad to get all the super glue off......
and
PURPLE INK!!! AKA MAGIC MARKER!!!
now i think as dan said....lighting in HIS PIC was before HE COLORED IT IN WITH MAGIC MARKER!!!
CUZ ....now its white and i can see how the lighting would make it LOOK like a shield??? MAYBE..LOLOL
I BELEIVE IT WAS WHITE OR HE HAD TIN FOIL GLUED IN THERE
MAGIC MARKER IS POST THE PIX HE POSTED TO SELL THE KNIFE.................. i think?

I think he might have just colored in the light spot a bit so it wouldn't stand out. He should of colored it in BEFORE he took the pictures for the auction.
