    amazing vintage dirk on Ebay

    This dirk is quite amazing, with the zoomorphic interlace designs reminiscent of Norse or Anglo-Saxon art

    http://www.ebay.com/itm/19th-Century...item2a350f7c37

    wonder how high the bidding will go...

    Very nice, indeed. My guess is that it will go for at least $3,000. I'll say $3, 260 just for argument sake. Any one else care to make a prediction? Oh, I won't be bidding either, just to be clear.

    Thanks. I did wonder what the final bid was. I was over the odds, but not too much.

    Not a bad price, for a dirk like that. I've seen lesser dirks listed for twice that.
