Wanted: A Fine KATAR

I am looking for a nice katar of exceptional quality with wootz blade, some gold work, and complete with scabbard.

If available, I can be contacted at: kaiserchuck@prodigy.net

Hi,

i have several nice old katars but none of the quality you want.

Here is a link to someone who does---but around $3000

I hope you realise they are all fakes and made up of odd old bits.

CharlesS · 1st April 2009, 09:21 PM

Yes, I had wondered about a couple.....seems like this is going to be a tougher endeavor than I had anticipated....

I realize this isn't about a closed auction, but I feel this rule applies:

CharlesS, are you strictly looking for antiques or perhaps modern-made katars? There are some fine makers and koftgari artists around, one is on our forums...

Sorry Andrew I was trying to be ironic. They look nice.

Pfew ! thanks for putting me at ease again.
I have been looking at the pictures for about an half hour to see what could be wrong with those katars

No worries, mate. I'm a paranoid lawyer-type.
