What would you do if you stumbled upon a Scagel....

Looks like it's time to get some wristbands made up...

(What would Scagel Do?)


;)
 
Btw, are there real pictures of Mr Scagel out there? The only one I have seen is that painting/photo. Seems like that there isn't a lot of info on him on the web.

God Bless
 
Scagel would be honest and do what T.Erdelyi would do. Although we don't share the same opinion on this T.Eldelyi, I commend your honesty. You are a better person for that.

Oh, I'm no saint, I bought a 1971 Norton Combat Commando for $500, (original price was $2,000) because the guy I bought it from was gettin' divorced and was gettin' rid of everything he owned and was gonna take off before his wife put a hold on his assets, well anyway this guys sister tells me the story and tells me he'd take anything for the bike, he just wanted to leave that night.

I pulled out the $500 told him it was all I had in cash, if he wanted more he'd have to wait till I could go to the bank in the mornin', (ATMs were rare back then), he grabbed the money and signed the title jumped in his car and was gone, his sister helped me load the bike.:):thumbup:

Nice. I've owned Triumphs over the years so I have a deep appreciation for Nortons. They're "traditional" British motorcycles ,to keep it on topic:p

I carried a Schrade Old Timer 2 Bladed Trapper in saw cut Delrin in the glove box of the Bike, (does that help?) I paid retail for it back in '79 which came to about $20 back in the day.

Probably not but it reminded me that I probably have a couple of knives rusting in the fairing pockets of my motorcycle. :eek:
 
What would you do if you stumbled upon a Scagel....


First, I'd have it authenticated by BRL...then I'd sell it and buy some knives and guns I liked:eek: If I was lucky enough to get one that brought upwards of 25 to 30 Grand, I'd probably pay off a bill or two after I had some funs with the first 10 grand or so:D
 
I've never owned a real Scagle, but once found a 1953 vintage Morseth at a flea market. Wish I had kept that knife!

I would have him authenticate it also. I would also probably sell it even though he is one of my favorite makers.
 
I would buy it for what the person was asking for it. I don't know enough about identifying a real from a fake Scagel to do anything else. If once appraised it turned out to be a real Scagel, then I would sell it and give a considerable amount of the proceeds to the seller, keeping the balance for myself.

What's a Scagel ? I have seen you guys do Russels, Boses, etc. but can't picture a Scagel. You know it just happens, I have handled a Parker, a Merkel and a two groove Winchester 06 . Some Al Buck sheath knives made right after the war, but no Scagel. ???
