ceylanese small ( presentation ?)sword
Hello everybody,
I wanted to show you this small sword-dagger I have.
Not really a weapon, more a small presentation sword 22 inches long
with a ''fake'' flexible blade ( anchor engraved on it ).
I have it from a long time,
I like the fine silver work and all the small semi-precious stones inserts
( maybe someone knows what kind of stone the big red-orange one is ?
It seems carnelian but it isn't )
But I never liked the fake flexible blade ( silvered copper or silver )
and was looking for change it for a real old ceylanese blade with similar dimensions ...
Butt today I saw ''the same'' small sword sold in an auction,
more stones but same work and ''fake'' blade
XXL starting price ! many thousand euros...
( seems reaaally exaggerated !)
I change my mind...maybe I will leave it like that !
