Genuine elephant ivory? Wow, what a deal! if only I had an extra $500...

I have the same thoughts whenever I go into an antique shop and see a short handled travel tech in the vinyl pouch with a price tag of 40 dollars.
It's bogus BIN items like this that people use as a baseline when they do an eBay search to find a sales price on stuff they sell.
I wish that I could leave post it notes in the shops I visit saying "Don't look for the BIN price on eBay, look for the 'sold' price"

And yet there is no such prohibition against selling elephant dung.

The blade had a huge chip on the toe. The scales were NOT ivory, celluloid at best.

Lol. Mark, I think you are one of a few humans on earth that could have turned those celluloid scales into ivory with just a paper clip and some Elmer's glue.

Thanks Doc. I didn't even get to see any pics as they seem to be gone for some reason. So I just took a stab at it!

It wasn't elephant ivory, it was french ivory.
Doesn't look as nice, but you don't need a large caliber rifle.

I have a few French military rifles, they were extensively carried, never fired, dropped once-LOL

Sorry any fellas from France.

This isn't a straight, but it seemed appropriate.

More like people who did not plan on a highly mobile war. My grandfather's best friend was shot down over France. He avoided prison camp because he was rescued and smuggled out by the Resistance.
