Cutting Their Way To The Top! Japanese WWII

March 24, 2010

Would you start a Japanese Samurai Sword at a minimum bid of just $1?  Well I guess if you were confident that it was going to sell for over $2k with thirty bids then maybe - why not!?.  This Top-5 list has a little bit of diversity in it considering that it includes a pair of navy binoculars and a tanker's helmet.  If you take a look at the bidding pattern of the Navy binoculars you will see that it was just two bidders willing to take the auction over $1500 and the winning bidder came in with a pair of strong shots in the last 25-seconds to steal the win.  My question about the helmet is did this really offer much protection?  I guess if you were inside of a hot armored vehicle maybe it wasn't as important that your helmet be able to stop a bullet.
