I am reluctantly selling my old Parker/Gypsy balisongs. I usually accept returns, but I'm looking to sell these "as is," so keep that in mind when purchasing. Not really looking for any trades right now except maybe a Surefire L4 or a Spyderco Military. Feel free to request additional photos of anything specific you'd like to see a little closer and please do ask questions and I will answer everything to the best of my ability. Just keep in mind that an "I'll take it" email may take priority over emails for additional information. Please read all of the instructions/information included in this post to minimize any misunderstandings.
I would like to add that these aren't necessarily flippers in their current state. These knives often didn't come ready to flip right out of the box and do not necessarily move freely. If you want them to be flippable, you may need to put some work into it to loosen things up a little more.
There are no boxes included with the knives.
1. Parker/Gypsy with grooved stainless steel skeleton handles. $125 $SOLD$
The blade on this is 4" from tip to the top of the bolsters.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. Parker/Gypsy skinner with what appears to be brass bolsters and stag handles. $200 Price Drop to $175
This is my absolute favorite out of all my Parker/Gypsy balis. I've never seen another one like this before or since. The bolsters appear to be brass and the handles appear to be stag, but I couldn't say for sure either way. The blade from tip to the top of the bolsters is 2.75" so it's got a shorter blade compared to the rest.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. Parker/Gypsy with stainless steel skeleton handles. $125 ON HOLD
Blade is 4" from tip to top of bolsters.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4. Parker/Gypsy dagger (sharpened on both sides) with curved stainless steel skeleton handles. $100 ON HOLD
This one swings pretty freely but does not latch tight open or closed. The blade is 3.5" from tip to top of bolsters. The condition on this one isn't as nice as the previous ones and it's definitely seen some use so it's got scratches it. You can kind of see them in the pics--basically don't expect this one to be anywhere near mint.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5. Parker/Gypsy with what looks like brass bolsters and bone inserts. $175
I believe I've seen one other knife like this before--definitely not common. The bolsters look a little better in person than they do in the pic. When I bought the knife I was told that the inserts were bone, but I have no idea if that's true or what kind of bone they are. They are off white with a bit of a yellowish tint to them. Another one of my favorites. Blade is just a hair over 3.5" from tip to top of bolsters.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6. Parker/Gypsy with water buffalo horn scales and decorated bolsters. $175 $SOLD$
Another one of my favorites with what I'm fairly sure is water buffalo horn inserts. Blade is a hair over 3.5" from tip to top of bolsters.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7. Parker/Gypsy with stag inserts. $40 $SOLD$
If it wasn't for the condition of this knife it would be another of my favorites. one of the bolsters is loose (can see it a little in the pic) and overall it's really not in great condition. It's still an interesting one, though. I have seen several of these for sale over the years but still one of the less common ones.

I will be happy to discount for anyone purchasing more than 1 of these.
Just FYI, I probably won't be able to get to the Post Office until Saturday, 2/15 so keep that in mind when purchasing. If purchased after the Post Office closes on 2/15, then most likely the next day I could mail them out is Saturday, 2/22.
Please email me if interested. PayPal is currently the only method of payment I will accept (prices include any PayPal fees that may apply).
In the event that there are more than one person interested, I will go in order of emails, so I would suggest emailing me first, then posting here.
Pictures are of actual items. Thanks for your interest.
