Yarborough #4797 for sale
As a collector, I think this would be a very cool knife to own. I obviously never earned one, but I can't believe a QP would sell his. The auction will probably be over by the time most of you read this, but it is for sale at a place called Guns Plus in Spring Lake, NC.

Are you aware that these knives are not allowed to be sold? The owner (to whom this knife was originally issued) was required to sign binding documents which expressly prohibit this item being sold or transferred.

I will post any responses here.

Maybe someone from SWC should call. Or drive out to Spring Lake. Have a little more than a day to do it.
Or TR could round up a posse from the local PS.com. Seriously.
if you have any questions call Tanner at Guns Plus. 910-497-2440. Seller has the right to sell in store at anytime and end auction. If you have any questions please call the store email is hard for me to respond. If inside the state of NC I must collect sales tax.

This sounds like the one we chased a couple yrs ago..
Took a very long time to get an answer from SWC on ownership.
Then Jim's Pawn refused to honor their commitment to sell it to me..

That's Jim's. It's also Guns Plus. Both establishments would cease to exist if not for clueless young Soldiers from Ft Bragg.

No response from seller
I asked the seller how he obtained it when I saw it a couple days ago and no response.

Tme for a ps.com slush fund to be able to buy back these knives and return them to an appropriate keeper at Ft. Bragg so they are not in the hands of non QPs.
Just a thought.......I'll contribute.

Bid up to $405 and the reserve is still not met. If I win it, you guys tell me where to send it.

Just off the phone with the manager
States he is unaware of any restrictions on the sale of these knives and requested the documentation in order to support the claim.
On receipt, he says he will pull the knife from sale or auction and prevent any additional sales.
His name is "Martin"
E-mail is:
martinakm@hotmail.com
I am going to shoot him the PDF with appropriate paragraphs.
I would encourage follow-up in a very professional manner from multiple members. He was very receiving of my complaint and seemed sincere in his response.

Might want to take down the link to the auction or move this discussion to the private area.
