Wow, you guys do get lucky on ebay!!!
Lovely Dhal Norman
I prefer the distinctly Indian chiseled steel designs to the more persian influenced.
I guess my best buy (that I still have) is this good 19thC Pesh-Kabz.
The usual Jadeite scales etc, but a nice complete one with no damage/chips or loss to the blade tip. It is 35cm not including the swivel decoration. It was £23 (about $50) at a car boot sale.
