I may well be the idiot that over paid for the paki sword. I bid on it in a last minute sort of thing, before brain kicked in.
Then decided that I would throw dice, pay and hope for best. Description stated that it came with leather sheath. Sheath was not leather, but pressed paper, you know like on the cheap knives from china, so on. Call guy on it, and he clamed to be Randall Parker Sr., sounded lame, but he already had my money and figured he was not going to send it back, sooooo I waited for the handy dandy cert of authenticity that he whip up for me.
My time is worth more than the money I would get chasing him, but I may anyway. I believe this qualifies as mail fraud.
He stated "that he is the old man Parker and that the knife was one of his early hand made ones, he felt bad about the high prices being charged for his and his sons work and he wanted to give back by having actions on some of his early stuff, bf (before factory). You know, let the average folks have a chance.
Yea, after receiving it I considered it a distinct possibility that it was 3rd world. You guys could have let me stay blissfully ignorant ya know.
