Hello all.
I have a few more things to put up for sale in order to fund another purchase.
First is a Vietnam era Mameluke sword with wood wall hanger with the Marine symbol on the front. These belonged to a friend of my dads and were not cared for as they should have been. This is not a replica and I am not very skilled in restoration so I am selling them as is. A nice piece of Marine history but I come from an Army background so no use for it here. As you can see from the pictures it is in rough shape. The biggest thing I noticed is what looks like a burn mark on the handle. Everything else, minus a few small questionable oxidation spots, looks like it would clean right up. The leather cord hanging from the handle disintegrates with a touch so I will most likely remove that before shipping.
The sword is from Hilborn Hamburger Inc. and has the acceptance #323 on the edge of the spine.
If you have any questions I will do my best to answer them.
Im asking $200usd shipped for the sword and hanger.

Next up are two old discontinued and hard to find Spyderco knives.
1. Spyderco Viele C42P
This is a really sleek and elegant design from Spyderco. G-10 on one side and micarta on the other. I am not the original owner so I dont want to say for sure that this one was never used or carried but it doesnt show any signs of either. This is a really nice knife that is not easy to find. It comes with the box and registration card. Im asking $145usd shipped.
2. Spyderco Viele C42S(co?)
This is the same thing only serrated. I know that this one was at least used a few times on a fishing trip. Its still in excellent condition with the exception of the little symbol on the blade. I used goo-off to clean what Im guessing were fish guts off of the blade and noticed the symbol turned light grey instead of black. Im thinking it maybe took off some paint. It doesnt affect the function of the knife at all just a nit-picky thing that Im kicking myself for. Some one penned in "co" on the box after the serial number and on the opposite side. I'm not sure what that means. If anyone knows shoot me a pm and I'll update the post.
Im asking $135usd shipped for this one.
$260 shipped if you buy both. (they do make a cool pair)

I would prefer Paypal or money order to U.S. buyers only. I reserve the right to refuse a sale to anyone for any reason. As I said Im looking to fund another purchase so no trades. If you would like to make an offer or feel that my pricing is off do not hesitate to pm me. All offers will be considered but not all will be accepted. First come first serve.
