Hi Carlos,  , yes I know!  Who you think is the new owner?  Normally I want to post pictures when the handle and guard is reset and straightened. I think that this one is much older as the first one, sadly is the handle elongation broken and missing but this swords are so rare that I think that it was worth the paid price and even with the handle damage it's a very interesting piece of great ethnographic worth. I think that this piece is from the middle of the 19th century.Regards, Detlef Last edited by Sajen; 3rd April 2017 at 11:12 AM. |

Most interesting is the old collecting tag on the handle, a sign of the great age from this piece.

Aha! It was you who outbid me. I thought it might be. We were the only ones willing to go that high.
 Good catch Detlef and I hope you can restore the hilt to its former glory. Very nice example. Congrats. Ian |

thank you. My bid was just 60 cent higher as yours! Sorry for outbid you. Maybe we are the only ones who know about the real worth from this sword. I don't want to restore the horn elongation, it seems that it is an old break which has received already some patination, it's intended to straighten the guard and reset the handle and maybe to replace the possible missing metal disc (eye) on the one side of the handle, that's all.Regards, Detlef |
