Hey guys -
I've been kinda watching for one of the older silver alox South African soldiers, the one with the stock number on the panel, but they don't come up too often. It's a model missing from my small alox herd.
I'm just wondering what the consensus is on prices for these. I ask as I noticed one on the 'bay today for $60 and the main blade is about 50% gone from sharpening with a fair amount of scale wear. So I'm not sure, myself anyway, if I'd call it in fair condition. Just barely perhaps.
I know here in the last couple years alox has joined the precious metals commodity trading boards, but that just seems high for one that worn.
So as I haven't paid too close attention here lately, about what am I looking at for a fair price for one in good condition.
Thanks!
Joe
***It occurred to me that perhaps the seller of this piece may be a member here, if so, and I offended, please accept my apologies. I've attached a pic of the model of knife that I've been casually watching for. I do not wish to ID this particular seller on the forum as I don't know them, and as I mentioned, I've no wish to be a smart a@@ as sometimes it's hard to judge mood/motive just reading text.
