Ram Dao

[Bill M]

21" long. The seller claims it is early to mid 19th century. Seems well made despite a few grind marks which may be common to choppers of this variety. From India.

Definite fake! Don't even waste your time asking questionsabout it: people will lie to you just to keep you in a good mood.
For $10 (including shipping) I shall take it off your hands.
:D :D :D :D :D :D
Now, seriously: a very, very nice one! How thick is the blade? In Israel, Artzi's friend showed me a humongous Ram Dao with the blade's base as thick as my thumb! That was enough to decapitate a hippo!

But I got it from China and it was only 99 cents and $750 shipping! Seller said it was Neolithic Dynasty! Mega old!

This is a small one at only 21" long. The blade is about 5/16" thick. Good size for goats and college professors.
:D

Below the belt!
But true... :o ( from the goat perspective)

Nice piece Bill. I think this type is for sacrificing doves. Great workmanship!

That was uncalled for, Bill. :p

[Battara]

Oh I don't know, I liked it...... :D
