Another (time) traveler for pleasure
Talk about confusion: this one was advertised as Ottoman 17th century.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...MEWA%3AIT&rd=1 In reality: Persian or, probably, Afghani version of a Kukri (pretty touristy, IMHO....) and clearly dated 1322, ie 1904! Sold for a nice bundle, though..... |
