Some Busses for your consideration....
The first person to post “I'll take it” without contingencies and a follow up e-mail will receive purchasing priority.
Please ask any questions prior to making a purchase commitment. My top priority is a hassle free transaction. I'll be more than happy to provide additional / higher resolution photos and discuss questions via PM, e-mail, or over the phone. I've done my best to accurately describe the condition of the knives I'm offering for sale, but there's always the issue of process variation and manufacturing tolerances inherent to this type of product so please inquire if there are issues of particular importance to you.
I will accept payment via USPS Money Order, or PayPal with a confirmed address per the pricing listed. That being said, please be aware that if you have a low feedback score I may ask that a US postal money order be used. I will ship via USPS w/signature confirmation and provide insurance to CONUS only.I will ship via USPS w/signature confirmation and provide insurance (parcel post for the AK47, priority for the FFBM and EU17 Mini). I'm only able to ship to CONUS at this time.
I'm not interested in any trades at this time.
I reserve the right to not do business with any individual without explanation. All sales are “as is, where is” and without warranty (except as provided by the manufacturer). All sales are final. By purchasing this item you are stating that you are 18 years of age or older and abiding by all local, state and federal laws concerning the purchase, transportation and possession of this item.
Busse AK47: Black canvas micarta handle, black coated blade. This sword is new, as received from the factory. It has not been used, sharpened, or inserted in a sheath. A couple of small points: As can be seen in the first close up photo the coating is chipped on the top of the blade at the very tip. I believe this occurred as the edges were ground to form the finished tip. In the second close up photo a very small area of missing coating can be seen on the tip of the “skull crusher” at the end of the handle. Under 10x magnification this looks like it's a result of thin coating and / or mild abrasion, I don't believe it's a chip.$840 $800 $770 USPS MO / $870 $830 $795 PayPal

A few points: As can be seen in the first close up photo the coating is chipped on the top of the blade at the very tip. I believe this occurred as the edges were ground to form the finished tip. I also included a couple of additional photos that show this knife's edge grind and coating (acceptable, but not perfect). $650 USPS MO / $673 PayPal Sold
Busse EU17 Mini #45: Tan canvas micarta handle, desert tan coating. I purchased this knife from a fellow forum member as “Mint Condition“, which appears accurate. The knife is in the condition I received it. There is a lot of information out there on the EU17 series of knives. Here's a little about what I know and believe to be true: The mil-overrun “Extraction Unit 17” series was introduced in 2004. The standard EU17 was first in the series (7” blade, 37 released). Next came the EU17 Magnum (9.5” blade, 28 released). The third and final knife in the series is the EU17 Mini (6” blade, ?? released). I've never seen anything definitive about the number of Mini's released, but I don't believe the number is large. The blade spec (per Jerry, Aug 2004) is: “Fatter than 1/4". . . Thinner than 5/16" . . .. Full height grind”. The handle is “Euro” style, which some (me included) find to be perhaps the most comfortable design ever offered by Busse. A clean, functional and uncommon piece of Busse history. $480 USPS MO / $497 PayPal Sold
