I've seen this junk advertised as everything from antique Samurai to genuine Medieval but this has got to be the best yet.

Actually this monster could been bought in Afghanistan, or close to any military base around the world.
You cannot imagine what the locals sell to soldiers! I have seen with my own eyes fantasy knifes and swords in Kabul. And believe me, they sell

Aren't these called 'Fantasy' daggers .....found everywhere, ....in the dark ages when dragons ruled ........common in the domains of 'Middle earth'...a great favourite of Elves....they are even attributed to civilisations in the far flung reaches of the galaxy.......

With such a pedigree......I could never understand why they are so cheap to buy

So it is a dragon dagger from Middle Earth Afghanistan? One of those deep dark caves? Whoa!

And the Guy in the Orange Shirt must be the result of an unholy union between Gollum, Good Gulf the Wizard and Arrow Shirt of Arrow Root (and his horse Thermofax) with the fabled Nikon Zoom Runes.... goes off mumbling incantations.


Eay Yuh Hay.

Hi Bill, It's good to see someone else is "Bored Of The Rings" I just couldn't believe it when I first saw this thing and what was being ask as a starting bid let alone the tale and the reserve that went along with it.

This is beyond ridiculous. But Still someone had to pay an eBay fee for posting this, and I would imagine at a $2500 price, the fee would be a hell of a lot more than I would want to pay for a joke.

I remember the "Arc of the Covenant" being offered on eBay. Reached 40 million before eBay pulled it. Reason given, "Item not believed in Seller's possession."
