Thanks mate. Yep, that link works for me.
I'm going to reserve comment, but I will say that I find the description very interesting. |

I agree with Alan and Battara, I also followed this auction just out of curiosity and it is amazing to notice that 4 bidders fiercly competed for getting this piece, great Ebay seller!

hmmm...the seller claims the hilt is fish bone, which from my experience generally refers to whale bone in SEA. This, however, looks nothing like whale bone. He also mentions suasa as a material, but i don't see where that would be. I do notice he offers a "lifetime" guarantee...whose lifetime may still be in question...

Yes, from the pictures the hilt appears to be made from elephant ivory and it looks quite nice, but it does not justify such high bids
 The seller may have mentioned fish bone just for avoiding any problems with ivory regulations? Regards |
