OK, guys, please teach me: why is it "exceptional", why "19 cen", why so expensive?

The only 19 in that piece is post 1950 . :rolleyes:

Certainly not 19thC. :rolleyes:

Re price ; see P.T. Barnum .

Very nice sword. I don't agree with the dating. More like 1940-60. I could see someone bidding over $300 for it but not much more. Guess it appealed to at least a couple of people.

as far as why it's so expensive; maybe it was a missing piece in that person's collection, or just what rick said, lol

As always, the seller's photographs are ridiculously good. Frankly, I've never seen better. Only inexperience would prevent a buyer from making an informed decision. :shrug:

It's the ivory? :shrug:

Yup. Barnum. We know the quote

I wonder why the seller calls it "bone?" Is CITES clamping down again? Though this seller is USA, could he be CYA for possible export?


OK, guys, please teach me: why is it "exceptional", .......
The pictures are exceptional, but it ends there.

One can always count on this Seller for great photography .

[David]

Um...did anyone notice that the reserve was not met so the only sucker in this case is the seller as he still owns this wonderful "19th century" sword. :rolleyes:

[Rick]

If that's the case then someone got lucky ....... ;) :D
