Question Ever heard of "Museum Arms and Armour Unlimited" ?

I was looking at a knife. Well, it was regeistered by these people. But when I tried to do a search on them , no luck.
Here is a link to the knife

http://www.gunbroker.com/auction/Vie...?Item=17020687

Have tried white and yellow pages by net and searches but nothing. At this point I am almost tempted to drive to Allentown and take a look, maybe just to see what they say Ultradamascus HCS is ????????

don't know who they are, but HCS sounds like High Carbon Steel to me

Thank you. I should have figured that out myself. The Ultradamascus was really getting my attention but it would be logical to think they mean fold and forge for that. I have a friend who lives in Reading, maybe he can help.
This newby just has so much to learn
:confused: :confused:
But getting there is half the fun
thanks again

it appears the seller is in minnesota. certificates aren't worth the paper they are printed on unless you can contact and confirm the credentials of the party issueing the cert. the wood work ,damascus and fittings are not something a "japanese master" would ever admit to. best bet would be to contact the seller for more info and do some research yourself.

I can not confirm that there is any such business as Museum Arms & Armour Unlimited. Contact the seller and get information on how to contact this company so that you can verify the seller's claims.

Thank all of you for your help.

if you go to the auction site, down bottom right last picture there is an address

However I do NOT know where this tanto came from but the little voices (I am sure you all know about the little voices) are telling me that it came from here at sometime.
