I think it's too much money but it looks pretty good...why?

[Bizio]

Just wanted to have your opinion and impression before any doing.
I have no Ka-Bar in my edged weapons collection so maybe I will try to place a bid there.
Thank you.

Do you require the same paperwork for the K-bar as you do for your bayonets?

[Bizio]

Ka-Bar is classified in Italy as a "knife" and we can buy knives also abroad without any need to declare them as we have to do for bayonets or any other double hedged weapon which are classified here as "dagger" instead.
So no paperwork at all for Ka-Bar.

What ever you do, DO NOT CLICK ON THE BUY IT NOW FEATURE. Curious as to what his reserve might be.

Never mind, $279.00. Way to high unless you're into variations and this is a rare variation as he claims.

[Bizio]

It can be expensive in USA but in Italy a WWII Ka-Bar like this one would come even more expensive and maybe not in such good conditions.
I never used Gunbrokers before, just activated my account today.

Thank you for your suggestions.

But if you're buying from a seller in the US, you can get a much better deal than this one. You could also try ebay although some of them will not ship outside the US and Canada.

You' re right. I had checked at ebay but at moment I could not find any particular good shape items.
I also prefer to trade at ebay and pay with PayPal rather than at Gunbroker where I have to send my credit card details to the seller in unsafe way.
Will wait. Thanks again.

A brand new Ka-Bar is $140 in Italy
