PS all reasonable, I mean reasonable offers will be considered as I am just not that attached to these items anymore.

And the last item that I forgot to mention maybe of some interest to those interested in African items, I beleive it is an Etheopian Coptic cross? Silver plate on what I think may be copper. The shaft is steel with the copper cross mounted into it. $135. I did see one on ebay for $900 some time back. SOLD!!!

Thanks David, as Maxwell smart used to say, missed it by that much, I just need to provide an images that it does fit into the sheath perfectly as I didn't have it secured in the original image and then get a postage quote.

If it falls over I'll let you know.


It also appears the Canary Isand and Albacete knife are on hold and interests in the Firanghis and the small swords at this point, sales just not finalised

thanks

French Cavalry sword and Nimcha sold thank you.

I'll put up the Syrian Kindjal and the orange bone handled Kindjal with the early Caucus blade shortly. I am open to offers on the knives above and She who must be obeyed wants to keep the Italian small sword with the mother of pearl handles but I will still entertain a reasonable offer, it is minty.

Thanks
