Amazing ! Almost everything he sells is antique. Especially than he should know that packing is important. Damage to antiques is very bad for their marketvalue. Amazing that he has still 100% positive feedback.

I had this once with an old spearhead that came in with a damaged (bend) point.
Fortunately a friend was able to restore that one, because it is such a downer on a purchase.

Hope the chips will glue on nicely.

All the best

I remember receiving a bugis keris from an early ebay Seller maybe 10 years ago .
It was sent in a Priority Mail 11X14 inch unpadded cardboard envelope !

It's going back for a refund.

Sellers mistake, I'd expect return postage refunded as well.

Refunded in full plus I got half of the money I laid out to send it back. So I'm only out $5

What a shame that a nice kuri like this one get demaged by bad packaging! But good luck for you that the seller is fair.

Damn Lew thats bad, had an angry postman lecture me on idiots who post parcels like that, I just agreed & pointed out I was the buyer of the 18 inch blade danging out of the box not the sender.

Interestingly though your item is already relisted & live on ebay for a $70 higher price still using the original pictures.

Buyer beware.
