Thank you terminallunch!
Yeah, the large vintage Lamsons are fairly hard to run across. I got mine at a small town thrift shop in north FL. I\'ve been looking on ebay and have had no luck at finding another one! The ones on ebay usually go for around $150 or so if they\'re in good cond with little to no sharpening loss. But yeah, it\'s tough to get away with carrying a real one out in public if you like to costume! My replicas will fool almost anyone at point blank though! They\'re the closest you can get to the real deal for sure. I put a load of time and detail into each one. They are really worth more than $50 shipped as far as my time is concerned, a lot more! But I love making the friggin things so much that I really don\'t care. After all, I am a total H1 freak
