The only reason I even bid on this one was that the starting price asked was really low. I already had one of the R1123s in near mint condition. Imagine my surprise when my opening bid was the only one. The photos with the ad for the knife looked good, and it may be genuine; an example of the original 1920s bullet knives. If it is, I got an outstanding bargain. If not, I can afford to lose that 249 plus shipping. I felt it to be a gamble worth taking.
I do have another R1123 knife in near mint condition. Comparing it to the photos in the Ebay post for the one I bought, it appears genuine. The tang stamps match and the length of the knife are the same. Blades appear to be the same.
