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 Lithgowhooker 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.
