Nice looking knife with history, I am falling more in love with the oldies...Good job.

I have made a couple of bids on some of his auctions but as of yet have missed out on what I was bidding for. He or she has some rather interesting stuff up for bid just about every week. Let me know what you think of your purchase once you get it in. It's a little bit hard to tell from the pictures they put in the auctions..So that means you will have to show us your pics of the knife... :mrgreen:


Take care,

Really nice. Who is the seller. I have found three sellers that I just won't do business with. Hopefully this isn't one of them. This a nice knife. Was it cleaned???? Looks good in the photo. Man I love these old knives. I want more photos too.

Here are my three newest delivery's from Mr. Ebay....I like Mr. Ebay... :P My wife does not... :roll:

One German Eye Canoe, One German 3 Eye Canoe and a Wilh. Weltersbach Weidmannsheil Lever Lock. The Weidmannsheil is from the mid 70's with the stamped "JAGD KONIG", which translated means "King of the Hunt".

Thanks for looking

Thanks LC,

I was not too sure exactly what I was going to get when I bid on the Weidmannsheil lever lock but I am blown away from the craftsmanship and quality in this knife (at least from what this novice collector can tell). This knife is so very different from anything I have ever owned that it will probably become one of my favorites...

Regards,
