They look like honest, authentic points to me. I'd get that wire off of 'em if I owned them--wire is not a good thing to secure them with.

Ya they look all right, just thought someone on here might be interested in them or something,, Not I said the blind man.

hey Tdog...I am new to the hobby and really like how these old-timey wire-and-wood displays look...educate me, why are they bad?

Wire can break, corrode & chip.

Looks like two different trays to me. If someone can get those for $200 that would be a steal. What is Etsy? A sale site?

Also, Terry is correct. Wire is the worst thing thing you can use to mount artifacts. If will eventually cause chips to form where the wire crosses and could actually cause notches in the blades edges.

Check out the point at 1:00 in pic1 and 5:00 in pics2 & 3--they are the same piece. You read my mind; $200 would be a steal for sure.

I see that now. That's one huge tray with both ends shown. If that's only $200 I would buy it. I tried to find it. There's a Cobbs or two in there for Petes sake. lol
