<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TypeCoin971793, post: 2567363, member: 78244&quot;]I was finally able to pull the trigger on this one (It helps when the seller offers a lot that will pay for itself and half of this coin <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> ). Often, the heads/handles of these knives were broken off in contemporary times and used as charms, so they are just as collectable as intact knives, though not as expensive. I doubt that was the intent behind this one because the remnants of the blade are not filed off. I think it just broke at some point before it was excavated.</p><p><br /></p><p>So now I have a handle and a blade. Until I save up $400-700 for an intact specimen, this may be as close as I can get to a Wang Mang knife.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]554847[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]554848[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
