Default Set of South American knives for sale

1 - Excelent Brazilian gaucho knife, "puņal" type, strong uncleaned
blade 18 cms. with false edge.
Thick scabbard and grip in German silver. With marks of a famous Belgium
gun makers family, trading in Brazil. Widow (VĒ) Laport ran the busines
and the company's name around 1870.
This is a heavy old piece, not the tourist stuff they offer air travellers.
2 - A knife called in Brazil "faca de ponta", with a 20 cms. nickeled blade,
retaining most finish. The blade decoration has the word ENFIN ( French
for "at last" ? ).
Leather scabbard and stitching both in perfect condition.
3 - A small knife, whch could be considered a "verijera", with a 13 cms. blade.
Leather scabbard a bit split at its mouth.

Price for the set 285 Euros
... will consider best counter offer.
