Once again Jim, thank you. I looked at several sites to try to get a ballpark idea. Those guys are always at the high end, and in my opinion, a little too high end in their pricing. From what I've seen, I've told him if he can get it for $100. all in he'd be doing well. I have a late 1700's to early 1800's Germandragoon sabre that may well be a privately commissioned sword and therefore a one-of-a-kind. Try to get a value for that!!!!
