A nice set with worked backs and potentially ivory scales at 30/blade! I wouldn't have needed any additional pictures for sure... sounds like a winner to me. Hopefully we'll see them in their full glory sometime soon.
Ivory if they pass the hot needle test, I would say. I can see the Schreger lines from here.
Those are really stunning, and worth multiples of what they sold for. If anyone has seen a nicer 7 day set outside of something custom, please let me know, I would love some pictures.
I need to stop looking at this thread, it makes me depressed that someone lucked out so hard - and slightly bummed that the future owner has decided to remain anonymous, I am sure a lot of us would at least like to congratulate him on a fantastic score.
plastic imitating ivoryIf anyone would like to chime in regarding thoughts as to the scale material, please feel free.
it's a matter of taste, i have few sets that i like the looks of a lot better, but i am really not into too much ornamentation.If anyone has seen a nicer 7 day set outside of something custom, please let me know, I would love some pictures.
