Ouch...for that kind of money, I would expect an extravagent piece in pristine condition. A textbook piece so to speak. This piece looks like its had some modifications, and not to the better. Getting out of the collecting game is looking more and more enticing with prices going up as they are.

As others have mentioned it looks like it is not quite original to boot. More money than real knowledge makes trouble for us all . /end rant |

thought I was going to snipe this one, but didn't even get my bid in http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...MEWA%3AIT&rd=1 but it does seem like a much more desireable piece

And you were just saying the other day, Rick, about how hard it was to sell Katipunan-era knives and swords!
 I suppose it was the engraved insignia on this blade and its unusual shape and length that prompted such a high price. Quote:

I had an eye on that one too. Went flying past me without even registering a bid. Yikes, yikes, yikes
