2nd reply after asking was it genuine.
Dear Nick,
As we never had any formal certificate of authenticity when we got the knife, we relied on the antique owner's information as he has owned his store for many years. If I remember correctly, he said he acquired this knife from the estate of a retired military man. And that is all we know. It was enough information for us at the time.
That's the best I can do to answer your question.
As these kinds of inquiries are usually addressed while an item is still in the auction phase, we would appreciate your getting back to us as soon as possible.
Hope that answers your question.
Sincerely,
Karens.Dragon
3rd reply after asking is the scabbard popper and leather is nearly new to look at and when i pointed the out this is the repsonce i got from the seller.
The knife is the knife. The leather pouch is new. We never represented or even mentioned the leather holder in the ad. That was a added for handling purposes only so that people would not touch the knife itself.
These knives were mass produced in India etc: and cost 20.00ish so iam natuaryl suspicous, even more when ask a sensible question i get a snotty reply.
