Obviously a post WW2 sword with pointy luks a fancy tourist piece I think. Not worth the money to me even if the hilt is ivory.

Older dress on a '50's era blade perhaps Lew ?
BTW, I tend to agree with you, the asang asang is not even attached .

I miss the eBay of the 90's .

I think so, it is a beautiful item, not my avenue of collecting but pound for pound I would pay that sort of money for something in the line of blades I collect if it was that stylish.

While I like the seller. Know him personally. Lives near me. I would not bid on this sword. The blade is not so good. Pointy luks. The hilt may be older, but still not so good either.

He often has some good pieces.

Good size chunk of ivory, but not that well carved. If cheap enough -- it wasn't -- I might have been interested in the ivory and find someone like Jose A. to clean it up and dye it old.

I am looking for kris handles and pommels. Have a few naked blades.

I'd toss the rest.

3 to 1, I lose, though I am enjoying learning about items out of my interests.

No one loses Gavin .

As you say it's not your field of interest and at first glance it would look pretty nice to the casual viewer .

Gav,

I have a few pieces in transit that you may like to compare. Sending you a email.
