What's a max bid?

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.

Russia, Soviet Union. A Soviet Navy Officer’s Dirk, c.1945

An extremely well-preserved Soviet Navy officer’s dirk, measuring 345 mm in length when inserted into the scabbard. It features a 215 mm-long nickel-plated magnetic metal blade with a sharpened tip and semi-sharpened edges. The obverse ricasso bears a serial number of “N001766”. The blade sits firmly within the gilded bronze upper crossguard, presenting with hooked quillons, with a black leather washer covering the seam. The grip is constructed of light yellow celluloid, and the dirk completes with a round gilded bronze pommel, the obverse with a hand-etched Soviet coat of arms. It is accompanied by its period original scabbard, constructed of a boiled blackened leather shaft with three gilded bronze adornments, each held in place by a single visible rivet. The obverse throat fixture bears a raised anchor wrapped with rope, while the reverse depicts a raised sailing ship cutting through waves. Additionally, the throat and mid-section fixtures each bear a loop for the accommodation of a hanger. It retains a functional spring catch, securely holding the dirk in place during storage. Minor oxidation is evident to the metallic features, with slight running marks visible on the blade. The dirk is in an overall near extremely fine condition.
