Eric,
I have also bought from this Ebay seller with no remorse..."BUT"...(Ya' knew it was coming)...all that glitters is not gold, with regards to the old green catalog. A bill of goods was sold to a good number of folks from this publication. Your #10, with Bo's signature, is a prime example.
While a good percentage of the knives featured in the catalog were unique, collectible and 100% Randall shop-made, a good portion were not. Even some of the knives that were sold as legitimate have been proven not to be so. The Model #10 was "not" shop-made and the signature was "not" authorized.
This is no reflection on the Ohio seller but, rather, a simple and plain fact. Anyone interested in assuring authenticity of their Randall knife needs to do what Bruce has done, i.e. send the knife and sheath combination to Joe Dorsky and get a Certificate of Authenticity. There is a large portion of the latest issue of "KNIFE KNEWS" dedicated to exactly this!
Hope this helps, Capt. Chris
