There's several on eBay now for about 375 GBP.
Over the last couple of years, i have seen a few go for about $1200 plus on ebay. However given the current state of the economy, i think you may be correct...for the immediate future.Quote:

A blatant statement of the most obvious. Edge Weapons of the 20th century are getting very expensive very fast. If I cashed out right now I will have made a very heavy profit. Its hard to believe a hobby that pays back, tax free, now if I could only convince my wife-SDH
You NEVER know when one will show up. I got one a few years ago when a chap at the Huntsville show had one in his hand in front of a table then chucked it back on the table saying "I'd never pay $65.00 for a Jap bayonet. Almost threw my back out getting to my wallet. You never know!!!! It was a Mole.
A square didn't mention that the second hooker on his picture is an Arisaka, is it one of the UK issued ones?
$1000 for a mint hooker in MkI scabbard isnt too far fetched, i just recently bought a Lithgow hooker for about that, though it is only v good and not mint. but the first i had ever seen. $2500 is more like an RFI starting bid, I have yet to see an RFI hooker, and it would be the same for a 1913 with quillion or one of th é colt marked examples.
sorry not to return for such a long period - yes , the other is a japanese which was in fact the origin of the design for the british P1907
as long as im here - here it is with older & younger siblings on their rifles

Do like them bayonet holders, think I must get some to show my blades :madsmile:
very nice, very nice indeed! I wish I had the real estate to display some of my collection in that fashion, I just don't have the room, hmm, maybe a new house might be in order..SDH
hey guys, i actually have a hookie 4 sale myself.... nowhere near that price though. its made by sanderson dated 12/09. comes without scabbard though, ive decided to sell it for $350. trying to find interested collectors before it goes to the public on ebay.... shouldnt have too many probs considering the prices ive seen them go for, maybe im selling it too cheap.
