This is the strangest auction I have ever seen for something calling itself a sword.

Unbelievable,

I can see why these are rarely seen.

WHAT A LOVELY ITEM WITH A PICTURE OF OUR FIRST PRESIDENT BUSH A CONFEDERATE FLAG AND ANOTHER OLDER GENTELMAN? THAT DEFINITELY ESTABLISHES ITS PROVENANCE AS ANTIQUE.

A VERY FUNNY SALES PITCH ALSO

I WONDER HOW MUCH THEY WOULD SELL A CASE FOR THEN I COULD PRESENT ONE TO ALL THE GREAT MUSEUMS OF THE WORLD. HEE HEE!

Incredibly, this item has been relisted for sale and, thus, I must lock this thread.

I can't believe it didn't meet reserve last time...
