Might be a nice addition to a WW1 museum if it doesn't sell.

Possibly so. Its a neat piece of history. 

I have seen unmarked ones sell for 250 so that is where I got my price but I am open to offers.

I am not sure why. Is your mailbox full? I replied to your message accepting your offer. I have sent several seperate messages as well with all payment info and other info. I am not sure what is going on.

I think if my mailbox was full, one of us would see something telling that my mailbox is full. I am getting notices that your sending messages but it doesn't show the message. Normally, If I send you a PM message and you PM me a reply , those messages will show up in my E-Mail and your E-Mail as a conversation between us. Until that happens, we will be dead in the water. I will say that I have not received an e-mail saying that you received my PM. We do not have a bargain, I have not confirmed on this website that I will take it. At this point, If someone else say's "I will take it" You are free to sell it to them.

I am at a loss for words then. I have sent numerous messages saying that I accept it. I marked the post sold pending funds to you. I have sent you payment options in the PMs that I have sent. I have replied to your message that you sent and also sent new ones from me to you. I have never had a problem with anyone getting my PMs on here and have sold dozens of things here. I am not sure what is going on.

I have also had another member here relay the message to you.

A couple of months ago, I bought a cap &ball pistol on here and a scammer was on that right away. I was getting 2&3 e-mails a day from them. We finely got PM's going and were able to make the deal.  After that, I spent about a week going through my past posts and deleted as many past posts that had any personal information that I could find. Possibly , I might have changed something I shouldn't have. Hell, I'm 82years, any thing can happen. This morning I sent you another PM. Did you get it and did you respond? I don't think so because I didn't receive an e-mail from you. Tomorrow, I will send a PM to another cowboy to see if I get a responds. you might try that also.

Yes. I did get your pm today and I responded again. I had another cowboy here reach out to you through PM with my info. Did you get that? If not, then maybe you did do something. I have never had issues with contacting someone here.

Just a thought here.  Rube is getting PM's from Howdy, but not the opposite.  How about Howdy send Rube an email address, or a phone number thru the PM, and then Rube can get a hold of Howdy outside thru that email address or phone number.  I hate to see technical difficulties prevent a nice holster from getting bought.  The email address or phone number would only be in the PM and would not be visible to the danged hackers.

If Howdy Pardner would like to send me his phone number I’d gladly give him a call and get him the holster he wants.
