    Thanks for the invite Charles.  Most of my rare ones were sold long ago.  I still have a few vintage/wanted weapons.  Allow me time to get aboard.  I'll contact you in the future.  Tom Rutherford

    Thanks Charles !!  Glad to be part of such a well rounded group of people ! Look forward to the discussions and knowledge !  Especially the part where you tell your wife that you just bought 10 knives and she doesn't use one on you !  Just Kidding--Sorta !!

    Happy New Year, Charles. Thanks for welcoming me to the site.

    I have looked through it but not sure what area would be proper for me. I inherited my brothers knives which included the full 12 set of Franklin Mint' Sportsman's Year Hunting and Fishing Knife Collection 1989 by Boker in the case which I was able to identify, but also another 10-12 knifes that I don't know what they are so can not value the knife.  would there be a place to show a picture and any markings to see if any members can tell more about it?

    Thanks very much. I confess I am not a collector but a direct descendant of Samuel Bell, and I would like to ask Mark about some of the biographical info he has. This was the only way I could figure out to reach him. I am impressed by the warm welcome I have received!

    Hello neighbor!  Thank you for the welcome Charles!  That is pretty cool to know  that there are some north Alabama folks here.  I lived in East Limestone for about 20 years and spent a lot of time in Athens as you can imagine.
