I sold a Ka-Bar to a big Hollywood producer!

Have you guys ever heard of Mark Goodson of Goodson-Todman Productions? They produced numerous game shows like "The Match Game", "The Price is right" and "What's my line?" as well as westerns like "The Rebel" and "Branded".

Mark died in 1992 but his son, Jonathan, now in charge of Goodson Productions, just bought a Ka-Bar from me! I "Googled" his address in Beverly Hills using the satellite view and it's a massive mansion! I had to ask so I e-mailed him and he wrote back confirming he's "the" Jonathan Goodson.

I've finally made it to Hollywood! [8D]

Jonathan's credits: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0329374/

    Neato! Is there much difference in the Army and USMC model? Bought USMC model while at Lejeune in '84, cost $20, has gone with me everywhere. Damn thing is bullet proof, you'll only have to buy one.

    Not to burst your bubble, but it likely won't be in a movie. It might have been had it been a prop master purchasing it.[:)]
