Pilots knife, anybody know this ebay seller?

Does anyone know the seller of this Pilots Knife?

To me it looks like he is showing the same pommel in both listings. Different scabbards in the background, one with sharpening stone one without. But the same two nicks and the same paint wear and scratches in the same spots on the pommel. I wrote him a note, but he never replied.

One of my Viet Nam years and was thinking of bidding. Now I don't know.

Tough call, looks like the same knife to me. But, he's got a bunch of those listed, I suppose it's possible he got the photos mixed up. Just how does one guy come up with so many "rare and collectible" knives and etc.?

Rondog,

Depending on how long a person has been collecting, I can see having a lot of collectible knives. They were not so collectible 30 years ago. I remember getting pilots knives near mint for $10.

I only look for my Viet Nam tour years, 1968, 69, 70. And I have 26 Pilots Knives, 16 MC1 knives, 23 of the 4 blade dated Camillus knives. But the last 10 years or so the prices have jumped sky high. And the condition has gone down on what is available.
