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.

All bids are subject to a Buyer's Premium which is in addition to the placed successful bid. The following rate of Buyer's Premium will be added to the Hammer Price of each Lot that you purchase:

Measuring 1,070 mm in length with the scabbard on, this sword features a 890 mm long, curved and fullered steel blade, magnetic, with a blade spine and a single semi-sharp edge, and having a sharp tip. The blade's obverse ricasso is maker marked "A.S. Co." (Ames Sword Company) above a grenade and "1906", reverse ricasso marked "U.S." above the inspector's mark "J.H.C", the blade has tiny edge nicks, with oil staining near the tip on the obverse from lubrication, along with contact marks on both sides from active use. Leather washer at the base of the blade remains intact, the blade and washer having both been lubricated. Silvered iron hilt exhibits age blackening and surface rust, is magnetic, housing a black leather wrapped grip with eleven rows of springy wire, some of which are slightly loose versus the grip, finished with a dome-shaped pommel, the sword measuring 1,035 mm in length. The scabbard has a durable silvered iron body, magnetic, with a flattened u-shaped finial, two suspension rings protruding from the wrap-around loops, the scabbard complete with its throat plate, exhibiting overall surface wear and rust, and measuring 925 mm in length. Very fine.

Footnote: The M-1906 Cavalry Sword is one of several that were toyed around with before the adoption of the M1913 "Patton" Sword. It is scarcer than the Civil War cavalry swords.
