Miguel,
I think that we all got caught up in your enthusiasm. We know there was no intention of wrongdoing.
However...
As I understand this, the discussion begins to border on asking public questions about pieces that are for sale. It is possible that the seller could take offense.
I'd suggest, to be one the safe, though "tedious" side, that you make specific inquiries by PM as to value and quality.
I'd think that posting an ivory handle weapon for comments would not be a problem.
The question is asking "Should I buy this one or this one and why?" Might elicit comments that a seller could find offensive.
Somehow this must have arisen in the past, prompting rules of this Forum. I'd leave the fine points to our legal moderator, whom I believe is Andrew or Mark.
