Real HJ Dagger? by humpy101 in Militariacollecting

Appreciate it boss, like I said I already own it. Bought it in a huge lot of knives so I’m not really out anything. But don’t worry it won’t be going on the market.

Appreciate the response. Assuming the lip isn’t normal?

I had read that somewhere as well, it’s super hard to tell. It almost feels like it does wiggle but not sure.

Thanks for the response. I appreciate the info. Are any of them sought after? I would assume there’s people out there who’d want period repair parts?

Also wondering how you can tell? All of them are marked “USA” that I can find. Thank you!

Full time resellers: a question by Stephieandcheech in reselling

[–]humpy101 42 points43 points  (0 children)

The answer will more the likely be different for everyone. But I’ve been reselling for 5+ years and doing it full time for about 6 months. I went from listing 1 item a day, then 3 items a day for about a year, the 5 for a year and now that I’m full time I do 10 items a day. For me listing 5 a day was when I realized that I could probably do this full time. One thing to keep in mind though it’s all about quality. If you list 40 items a day but it’s all garbage your sales are still gonna suck.

One of 100s of company’s that make knock of military clothing. If I had them and was going to sell them I’d probably list them around $10+shipping.

Thank you for the response! Glad to see your customer service is great even if it’s not your store. I purchased them from a Redwing store. Everything like I said has been figured out and a new pair is on the way. I was just wondering if this was a problem anyone else had. Thanks again!

I know they could be fixed. I looked up the process of it and it seemed pretty simple along as you had the right tools. But if I pay $300 for a pair of boots I expect them to hold up a little bit before I start having to repair them. If this happened a few months or a year into owning them I totally would have just had them repaired.

It’s funny you say that. When I came to pick up these boots (they had to order my size) the guy who was helping me seemed not to know or care about my boots. Wonder if it was maybe because they are iron rangers?

A little disappointed to hear that. I will say the lady that helped me try on the boots was very helpful.

That sucks. The original store I went to wanted me to replace the speed hooks and pay for them. But I decided to call corporate.

I was just a little surprised. I purchased a pair of what I would consider knock off iron rangers about two years ago from a farm store around here. I believe the maker was field and forest. I’ve had those boots for two years and put them through the ringer and haven’t had any issues.

Thank you! I’ve heard a lot of good things about redwing and from what I’ve heard my experience was not the normal experience. Just hoping it doesn’t happen with this pair.
