Your maximum bid should be the highest amount you're willing to pay for an item.

Your entered maximum bid will not be disclosed to the seller or other auction participants at any point.

Max bidding example:

If the current auction price is $100 dollars and you place a maximum bid of $120 dollars, the system will bid $101 dollars on your behalf.

If no other participant places a bid, you win that auction lot for $101 dollars.

If another auction participant places a bid of $110 dollars, the system will subsequently place a bid of $111 dollars on your behalf. The system will continue to bid in $1.00 dollar increments until your maximum bid of $120 dollars is exceeded.

If another auction participant places a bid for $125 dollars, the auction lot price will display $121 dollars having exceeded your previously submitted maximum bid by $1.00 dollar.

A Second War Italian Fascist Militia "Black Shirts" Enlisted Man's Dagger

"Milizia Volontaria Per La Sicurezza Nationale". Measuring 300 mm with the scabbard on, this dagger features a 172 mm nickel-plated steel blade, magnetic, with a sharp edge, remaining bright and crisp, and having a very sharp tip. The blade exhibits scratches overall, common to extraction and return to the scabbard, along with a few contact marks and a natural shine, measuring 283 mm in length, the blade rating better than very fine. The handle is fabricated from aluminum, designed with a quillon, complemented by black synthetic plates embedded on either side and held in place by a single brass screw. The obverse of the handle has a bronze fasces insignia, while the pommel is fashioned in the form of an eagle's head. The nickel-plated scabbard is magnetic, designed with a ball finial, along with two pairs of rules defining the chape and locket areas, a bracket on the reverse securing a belt strap, the strap's upper in gold-coloured bullion wire and black embroidery, with a black finished leather underside, folded over and secured in place to the bracket via a silvered brass screw, with a support plate extending from the screw to the mid-point of the strap and held in place to the strap by a silvered rivet, the scabbard measuring 190 mm in length. The pommel and handle exhibit very light contact, the scabbard with one scratch near the bracket and light contact overall, the silvered brass screw on the bracket with chipping on either side of the screw slot on its head. Better than very fine.
