In one of the questions posed by others, the seller said that the pommel was made of horn. I agree with the question of the piece in the waves and straight across ganga separation line (say that 5 times fast

) - either the blade is a fake - er - later with intent to fool, or it is an exception to the rule found in Cato's book. Horrible pictures.

One of our brethern was bidding on this puppy and it was at 81.00, and then was ended by the seller. Wonder why?

I AM ALWAYS SUSPECIOUS OF BAD PICTURES AND HIGH WORDS SUCH AS ROYAL, DATU, ANCIENT, ECT, WITH NO PROVENANCE OR GARANTEES. IT DOSEN'T HELP WHEN THE SELLER ENDS THE AUCTION EARLY WHEN IT SEEMS TO BE DOING WELL. THERE SEEMS TO BE A LOT MORE OF THE EARLY ENDING AUCTION DEAL LATELY. IT WAS A INTERESTING ITEM THOUGH FROM WHAT LITTLE I COULD SEE.

There seems to be some sort of provenance - it comes with a collection tag but the seller hasn't disclosed whom this "early century South Seas collection" belonged to... Caveat emptor, as usual.
