Some of you may be interested in the goodies here.
Looks like a mish mash of swords, guns, bowies and Katana...and Coyote Fur Gloves...
But the auction catalog is HUGE and theres a little of everything.
No idea if the price range is good.

I must agree--Morphy has some nice auction wares.

Their mail out catalog looks great and their live auctions are fun to watch. Some items are pricey but are also in "as described" condition. Asking for a specific item report gets you a lot more information in some cases but little in others.

I purchased and received 2 parade swords (us naval and us coastguard). They were as described (down to loose rattling hilt on one). They also came with the past collectors note cards attached. A nice touch only mentioned in the auctioneers item report.

i beshat myself when an early American flag went for 25k.

I would have to figure 33%, plus shipping and insurance. Some may, go for a song. Cheers GC nice walloon/felddegen

Definitely a Christmas wish list book! Kind of like the old Sears Christmas Catalog. Sadly, everything is out of my price range. Nice stuff nonetheless.

I would go to that auction with a list of things I need for a complete collection of something, then come home with the whale gun on pg 280. Because that's a cool thing to hang on the wall....

Thanks, I downloaded the catalog.

Darn, I trained for the Third World War, but what I got was War in the Third World.

RufusScorpius: The shoulder surgery is fairly straightforward, it's the recovery that is a real horror show. Not looking forward to it, truth be told Jan 22, 2021 18:14:51 GMT

christain: Sorry to hear you are still having medical troubles, Rufus.

But, hey....you've got a strong wife and healthy girls. Let THEM do the paddling.

cjman919: Sorry if im using this wrong but im just looking for a kusarigama somewhere idk why its so hard to find one thanks for the help Jan 22, 2021 1:51:08 GMT

RufusScorpius: Sounds like a great deal of fun, which I won't be enjoying any time soon. I'll have my shoulder in a sling for 6 weeks at least, then therapy for 4 or 5 months after. Maybe early fall I can get out camping or someting. Jan 21, 2021 17:04:32 GMT

christain: No need for a rope swing there. There's one spot where there's a deep pool of crystal-clear water with a cliff to jump off. Little fish nibble your toes while you swim. It's literally like another world. Wonderful.

Jan 20, 2021 19:26:42 GMT

seth: Sounds great Christain. We used to do that when stationed in Florida. We'd canoe in the maze of the blackwater river--always find rope swings and such people had set up. Jan 20, 2021 15:43:42 GMT

Ouroboros: Porch damnit. Jan 20, 2021 14:22:59 GMT

christain: I plan on me and the wife going boating on the river at Beavers Bend, Oklahoma. You can float your cooler behind you and pull up on a sand bar and camp out. Great fun. Jan 20, 2021 4:16:08 GMT

seth: yeah trying to plan summer camping trips now--I can't wait Jan 18, 2021 15:27:32 GMT

RufusScorpius: Mmm, campfire, fresh fish, some 'taters gathered from the woods... paradise.... Jan 18, 2021 14:08:25 GMT

Brother Nathaniel: Don't camp too close to the forbidden forest! A word of advice brother. Jan 18, 2021 10:12:35 GMT *

christain: If I were still in my teen years, I'd be camped by a fire on the edge of my pond with lines in the water...hoping to catch breakfast. If not, then go foraging the woods for nuts and berries. Not the easiest, but you'll live.

Jan 18, 2021 6:42:02 GMT

christain: A campfire and a good bottle of Scotch sounds pretty on-time right now. But only if I have a waterproof tent. The weather here is as unpredictable as a new wife.

Watch out for the forest Elves and Gnomes.

Jan 18, 2021 6:34:48 GMT

Brother Nathaniel: My old friend! Well... you will always be welcome for a spot at my campfire. I am preparing to brave the forest again for some more research. Jan 18, 2021 6:12:56 GMT

christain: Hey, Rufus! Sorry I haven't been on in a while to chat. Just too busy with the holidays and suffering a few medical setbacks. It really bites getting old, but I can still perform. My wife may have a different opinion, but I'm referring to swordplay.

Jan 18, 2021 2:45:15 GMT *

RufusScorpius: Oh, yes. "Real life" I played that game once. Outstanding graphics, but horrible game play. Jan 17, 2021 13:33:58 GMT

nerdthenord: Howdy scorp. Just been kinda busy with real life. Jan 16, 2021 14:44:23 GMT

RufusScorpius: Hey there Christain, Nord! Long time no see... Jan 16, 2021 1:15:04 GMT

christain: What's up, LG! Have any new goodies to show us?
