The push dagger was also a suspect knife. I withdrew my bid on it after consulting with an expert.

The saying that 11 out of 10 Randall miniatures is a fake holds true almost always. I think #212 may not be legit. I wouldn't buy it unless it was authenticated.

Rock Island auctions a few Randall's from time to time. A friend of mine bought two so-called miniatures last year that were sent for authentication and were both fakes. However I bought a mini Bear Bowie with a sperm whale tooth handle from the same auction that was authenticated as legit.

Caveat Emptor is certainly true at auctions.
