I could not get that wavy dagger to me through customs. I had asked the auction house to split the kukri from the rest and I would have just taken the kukri. My thing and those type of kukri are rare and old. The price as a collector of kukri was fair for it. Again I had to leave a bid.

Part of the hilt guard on one was almost rusted through. I'm not sure the inlay on that blade would be all recoverable but I'm only going off image. Maybe an experienced restorer could bring them back.

Kora seem to be seen less and less seen - good to get 2!
