A few years ago my friend handed me what seemed to be a brand new dealers catalog with no date on it just a number. When I opened it up there was page after page of fine Indo Persian wootz daggers with low prices. Of course I felt like a kid in a candy shop
. So I placed a call to the dealer and rattled off item number after item number but there was a uneasy silence on the other end of the phone then the dealer says what catalog are you using? I told him the number and he started to giggle he then tells me that catalog was from 1983
well you know a felt like an ass so I thanked him for his time. I called my friend back and he laughed and said got you lol!
