8 old soldiers all pre WWII dated and all in decent enough condition for a nice titanium restoration. The deal is that I do his 2 favorites and I get to keep the other 6 as payment. Pretty sweet deal for both of us.  His first 39 Wenger will have the stainless hand rubbed and polished and then gets titanium liners, bolsters, and pins with red G10 scales.
