offer retractions and cancellations seem to be rampant here lately on . Either of these, will result in a permanent ban from offerding on any of my other items in the future. Sorry to have to say this but sadly, it seems courtesy, common sense and keeping one\'s word in honoring commitments are becoming things of the past. offerding and winning means you own it once funds are received.
I have a flat rate mailing cost because I ship in a box that is well-padded and protected from elements - packing materials are not free to me. I will not throw the items in a flat mailer for a cheaper rate, only to be destroyed by the postal service or be left outside by the delivery service to chance subjecting the items to inclement weather, so please don\'t ask.
This a piece of history. I want you to receive them in the best condition possible and enjoy it for the benefit of future collectors.

Argentine Model 1909 Bolo Short Sword (officially known as the Machete de Monte or Artillery Short Sword). Emerging after Argentina\'s adoption of the Paul Mauser repeating rifle, this weapon was used primarily as a utilitarian brush-clearing tool and a close-quarters personal sidearm rather than a mountable bayonet.There are photographs of these still being used in the Falklands War
