A few to start guys
A few to start, the Turkish knife, 1950/60's at a guess razor sharp and a nice user in the hand, blade and sheath marked Yesil Bursa Yadigari. The Finnish knife, blade and sheath marked J.Marttiini Finland, bought back by a friends father in 1975, both part of a trade deal many years ago, $40USD each or best offer.
The Garrotte came from a WW2 Vet a long time ago, he was present in North Africa from memory and it is a weapon associated with special forces and is quite rare and sinister in it's own right. As I could only take his word on the provenence I have noted this but I also know a lot of Vietnam Veterans and two of them have spoke to me of these used in Vietnam too. Maybe someone a little more versed on the subject can come in on this. Price $150USD or best offer.
I'll have some more images of the Dha and Dao up soon as there has been a great number of you interested in these 2 lots, they were bought for $400 Australian dollars so if there is a reasonable offer for the pair before I repost more images I will consider this. As for individual prices the higher price will lean to the Dao. I do see a similar Dha and dao on ebay at the moment as I am sure you all do too so please do make offers as I have to get this kitchen finished.
regards
Gav
