Have had several good emails with the seller and he seems like a straight-up guy and relative newbie to eBay.

I also told the seller that I would not be bidding high, so he had no reason to even try a shill.

Bottom line is that I think the seller is an ethical guy who would not bring in a shill bidder.

Another vote for etching!

There seems to be some active rust, anyway, and just wiping the blade with warm vinegar might do the trick...

BTW, that second-highest bidder did buy old blades before.
