Hello all-
I have been consigned to sell a collection of items, and have been referred here by one of your members. Several of the items in the collection have already been sold via the SFI forum :) All of the items can be viewed at http://www.empoweredpathways.com/WWII.htm
Item #1 1884 French Officer Smallsword
Item #2 Model 1889 WWI Prussian Infantry sword
Item #3 1850 French Naval sword (gorgeous!)
Item #4 WWI Bavarian Cavalry sword
Item #10 19" knife
Item #12 Bamboo Darts and Case
I will post one image of each in this thread, below. Please let me know if you would like to see more pictures of any particular item, I will get them to you as soon as I can!
The terms of sale are posted on the website. I must note one thing, though the posted terms say money orders ship same day, I must wait until I have verification from my bank that it is cleared, just as a personal check. I ship via UPS or USPS, my preference is to use the USPS...
Please feel free to contact me via email, PM or through this forum for more information about any of the items!
Thank you
Gen :)

Bamboo Darts and Case

Some intricate work on the leather case, interesting piece.
I am told they were used as poison darts?

Hello all-
Item #3, the French Naval Sword, has been sold and will be shipped to the new owner today!
I am almost sad to see this one go, it is beautiful! When I began this consignment arrangement to sell this collection, I was simply helping out a friend. I now have a great appreciation for the beauty and the history of the collection. This was my favorite piece of the collection... :)
There are still a few items left, please contact me if you have interest in purchasing any of the remaining items via PM, this thread, or email.
Thank you!
