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.

A Royal Yugoslavian Army Officer’s M-1939 Dagger

Rare Kingdom of Yugoslavia army officer’s M-1939 dagger; straight double edged blade with engraving on the ricasso - double headed eagle (Coat of Arms of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia); hilt has brass fittings with loops in tact with double headed eagle (eagle heads have worn away from in-out wear); pommel in the shape of the Royal Yugoslav Crown; hilt decorated with oak leafs; S-shaped cross-guard; wood grip with original wire still present; original weather washer on base of blade; wear on ricasso from in-out movements; patina on metal surfaces; blade length 21.3 cm, overall length closed 37.5 cm; overall near very fine condition. Footnote: These daggers were last used in the short war against Germany in April 1941 in Yugoslavia. After the fall of Yugoslavia, Croatian officers used this dagger, but the Yugoslav eagle emblem was changed to a Croatian emblem, meaning that these rare daggers were in use only for a short period of about 2 years.
