A $405 Gunong?

I was watching this too but had no intention of bidding, just thought that it was interesting but $405.00

I just missed getting this at $404.99

darn! If you look at the bidding record a newbie with 26 wins was high bidder at about $100 but it seems he put in a $400 bid which was than topped by two other more experienced ebayers but I am still scratching my head?

I was one of the low bidder and never thought that it went high like this also I think that the times are gone that you can buy good gunongs by low prices, look to some sides where you can buy ethnographic weapons; they also want to have good prices.

So, Steve it seems that you have done a good investment in the last years!

I think this is a later piece. Although it has MOP and ivory, there are aluminum pieces in the stacking of the horn and ivory pieces. This makes it more WWII at the earliest.

I would rather pay this much for some of Steve's pieces.
