While I like the seller. Know him personally. Lives near me. I would not bid on this sword. The blade is not so good. Pointy luks. The hilt may be older, but still not so good either.
He often has some good pieces.
Good size chunk of ivory, but not that well carved. If cheap enough -- it wasn't -- I might have been interested in the ivory and find someone like Jose A. to clean it up and dye it old.
I am looking for kris handles and pommels. Have a few naked blades.
I'd toss the rest.
