I. D. Help Needed.
Hi Guys,
I am tempted to buy this item but am unsure. Can anyone hazard an educated guess as to origin and age. I only have the sellers photos which are not great but any help would be appreciated. The only other info I have is that it is 24 inches overall. Regards, Norman. |

Hi Norman
Use the search function with "Trabzon". These knifes have been discussed before. All the best Jeff |

Thanks for the info guys. Being a bit of a novice when it comes to some aspects of Ethnographic pointy things, and I know price is a bit of a taboo, but if I paid in the region of 250 USD incl P&P would I be in the ball park as to a fair price, I can't find one on the net to compare.
Regards, Norman. P.S. If nobody is willing to stick their neck out I will understand. |

As advised a P.M. would be great if someone would care to stick their toe in the water. I'm looking for an approximate generic value of similar items and not a value on this individual item.
Regards, Norman. |
