Both should clean up well. I left a bid but some way behind the final. I think you got a good pair of kora there. Look to have nice spine decoration.

There was a pair of indian swords of rare form, one a basket type hilt and the other zulfiqar type, in the auction but the condition was poor. Heavy rust in parts with some that had gone deep. They hammered for 4700.00 Euro which had me scratching my head.

There was a lot of relic items with a single kukri of rare form - hanshee type. I was the underbidder. I had to leave a bid and go to bed.

I think these weapons must have been stored in a shed or attic. The house was close to the sea.
