Re: Can someone help me estimate the value of a HUGE switchb

Howdy praetorian, I'm sorry for the loss of your friend, man. RIP Andy. As for the knife. if you could post a group shot of everything, that would also be a valuable post. the giant piece you've got was made by Armando Beltrame. And previous posts signify that. I'd ball park it between $600 and $12...

Re: Can someone help me estimate the value of a HUGE switchb

Interesting photos,fifth one down looks like carpet roll on the floor could be the sheath 8) The knife has what looks like an "AB" tang stamp.

Re: Can someone help me estimate the value of a HUGE switchb

It might help to just cruise the auctions there and look in the closed auctions section to see what things are actually selling for.
