Custom Harsey Knife Raffle
 

The Special Forces Association will be selling raffle tickets between now and the convention (Oklahoma City, OK) on a 1st edition knife crafted and donated by William W. Harsey Jr., Knifemaker. Mr. Harsey was designer for the United States Army Special Forces “Yarborough Knife”. The knife is serial numbered #001 Reaper 7 - CPMS 30 V 2007.

Drawing takes place at the General Membership Meeting 6 July 2007. Need not be present to win.

Tickets will go for $2.50; 3 for $5.00, 7 for $10 and 15 for $20.00. All Proceeds go to support the Special Forces Association. If you are interested in purchasing tickets you can write to:

Photo is attached.

Cool, So that's what it looks like......


TS: How many tickets will be sold?

That all depends on how many you and all those on ProfessionalSoldiers.com and the Special Forces Association purchase by 6 July 2007.:rolleyes:

Personal checks accepted?

Crip

Yes, as long as those that send them don't mind waiting until they clear first.;)

Make them out to "Professional Soldiers".

Team Sergeant

No Paypal?

TS, I didn't realize you were still traveling on the "Information Dirt Road." :)

I've talked about paypal before...... they are NOT mandated to play by BANK or FEDERAL banking rules (the ones that are the guidelines for credit card use)...... They operate as they wish, outside of federal guidelines. Hence, I will not use the services of paypal. I may be walking down the "information dirt road", but I have no fear of an ambush. ;)

TS

Bill,

This is a beautiful knife, but it looks a bit different than the last "Reaper" I saw pictures of here (especially in size). What can you tell us about it?

I can certainly understand your motives, but I think that an online solution (maybe a future addition to PS.com?) for SF related transactions (e.g. flashlights, Leathermans, and raffles) would get more money in the SF piggy bank from those of us less-paper inclined. Also, those overseas.

All of this is IMHO, of course. I'll be sending a check... grudgingly :) Now, if I can only FIND that dinosaur contraption...

I'm in! With a it of help from Bill :D

Team Sergeant

Is there going to be a form in The Drop or the Chapter newsletters? I assume they are not going to mail the tickets out like for the Building Fund raffle.

Jim

This I do not know. We are only helping because we can.;)

If you have any questions I'd call the SFA. Mel knows about professionalsoldiers.com and he knows me.;)

TS

Piter,

If you have a problem with Bill being able to assist, give a shout!!!

Later
Martin

Martin, Thanks!
I'll be sending the Team Sergeant a check today on behalf of Piter.




then I'll fill them out with my name.

Just kidding Piter. :D

Bill-
Wanna buy me a few tickets too? PLEASE!!!:D

Bill, shall I bring the bottle to Atlanta or not? ;)

So... be a good boy :D

Ok, ok, I'm being good.

T S:

I'll send you a check for $101 whenever I find my checkbook, or whenever Nancy slows down enough to write you a check!

OK, we've sold a little over $500 in tickets. :lifter

We have lots of tickets left.;)

Get your raffle tickets soonest!

I am on my way to mail out about eight packets of raffle tickets. Be advised I only check the Professionalsoldiers.com PO box about once every 10-15 days. As we approach the raffle date, July 6th 2007, I will check the PO box more often.

Get your tickets NOW!;)

Team Sergeant

OK now this strange, all the guys send a check with a hand scribbled message on a piece of toilet paper. All the females purchasing tickets, send a nice well written card with check enclosed, strange.:rolleyes:

Maybe they thought you were in need of toilet paper?

TR

No, I think it was Ken Brock that sent the toilet paper. When I saw who it was from I ensured it was not "used" toilet paper......(If I recall correctly he even spelled his last name wrong.:rolleyes:)

For those that have not had the pleasure of meeting Mr Brock, just look up "southern redneck" and you'll see his picture. :D

TS

Sheryl Crow will be soooo upset over that. :D

Is there something wrong with that?:D

He makes a fine knife as well.

Did Harsey send any paper towels? I mean, renewable resource wrapping?

TR

Well it looks like I just got the winning ticket in the mail today!! HOOHOO:p

Now I got to fill’em out and send’em back in…I can almost feel that fine blade in my hand!

Good luck brother.;)

Only $500 in tickets sold so far......:(

Let's get going people!!!!! Every dime is going to the Special Forces Association!

ProfessionalSoldiers.com makes absolutely nothing on these sales!!!!!

Team Sergeant
Life member of the Special Forces Association!

Hey! Words can hurt!!:D

I forgot you had friends that can read.....:D

I forgot that I had friends!!!:cool: ;)

Good cause needs support. No doubt here!

If Bill can help me again than I purchase $100 worth of tickets with this message (it's 5x$20 so something like 75 tickets, right?).

Bill, please confirm (we'll clear it between us in the Pit in Waverly of course)

TS-
Did my funds arrive? No tix yet. If not out yet - send to PNW address.

Your covered.

Did I win yet?:munchin





:D

No because I am going too! :D

Plus "Drawing takes place at the General Membership Meeting 6 July 2007."

On a serious note, regardless of who wins they will be getting a very nice knife


and it's for a great cause

TS-
Did you get my Tix out yet? The check was not for beer. Am I going to have to send dougie down to collect my tickets?

well... any news? :cool:

I was at the convention, and they didn't announce any winners at the Banquet.

I'm just as curious as you are.

Yeah were is my knife? Man I hope I won, that would be so awesome!!!:)

And the winner is....
 

:eek: This is a no shitter!:eek:

I just got a message from the SF Association that my ticket was drawn! I called them back to make sure it wasn't a practice joke by one of my so called friends! I never win anything, man I am as happy as a baby in a titty bar! This is so awesome! I can’t wait to get a hold of that cold steel!

I will give you all an update after I lay hands on that fine piece of work. Thanks Mr. Harsey, Thanks Team Sergeant, & Thanks Special Forces Association!
