Hi David
I was watching that one but was swayed by a lovely Zulu staff instead. I think you picked up a real nice piece love the the ivory hilt. Congrats Lew |

 ). Yeah, i thought it was a bargain as well. Just glad none of you guys jumped on it because my budget was low...Jose, i'm fairly confident that it is indeed laminated. I think you can see faint lines in some of the photos. It will be fun to see if they come out well with a bit of hot vinegar. |

Was wondering who was going to get this. Great piece. I should get around to posting a similar one I have that is much newer.

Well, this little gem arrived today. It is everything i had hope, ivory hilt, silver fittings, laminated blade, even the chatoyance i thought i saw in the photos on the wood of the sheath is there. Everything looks tight and original. One thing i wasn't expecting is that the blade is double edged.
Give me a few days and i'll get some better images of the cleaned up piece.
