Mr. Loveless, who passed away about 10 years ago, was a fantastic knife maker, but he also dabbled in firearms. this is one of about 35 he ever made/modified. some searching shows that prior versions of his work on the SW Model 41 have gone for up to $8,000. :faint: just a bit outside my bidding range. but perhaps within yours or some other baller here.

Didn't know he messed with guns.
It's still cheaper than most of his knives out there, with some hitting 6 figures.

then you learned something today. that's a good day.

well, get in there and start bidding!! it's just money, no point in dying rich. :DAB:

It will be interesting to see just how high it goes.:seasix:

$3,838 w 4 days left......

Sofa king tempted......:funniest:

Same here, but I already have an Ed Brown custom 1911 so I'll pass on this.

I want to love it because I have a grasp on the amount of work it took to make it so fugging ugly. I can appreciate the vision but the end result is awful in my view.
Plus, according to the seller it is now chambered in .41LR and I bet ammo is a bitch to find.

I emailed him yesterday to let him know it started as a Model 41 and is chambered in .22 LR ( Long Rifle)

Maybe one of those "know it all" sellers :kick:

Probably just a typo... I was poking the seller a bit though.

bidding at 4775, just a few minutes to go. hurry.

9 min. $4825

5075....

now 5100, 14 min to go (15 min rule in effect, any bid in the last 15 min resets the clock to 15 min to go).

now at 5150...

:faint:

now at 5500

:faint:

just a tad more than the $352 i paid for a pre-woodsman (made in 1917, 4 digit SN) about a week ago. :smash:

Not convinced it’s worth $5k+.

now 5825....

I bid earlier. I’m out.

would you believe 6025.

someone with deep pockets really wants this one.
