Spectacular Kilij!!!

While I wouldn't want to make a blanket statement that all sellers from the Ukraine are scam artists it is a fact that several people have been "taken" by sellers from the Ukraine. There was an Ebay seller that posted several rather nice Chinese swords. The only payment policy was Western Union. I have heard of two people that made the purchase, sent the money, only to never have the sword show up. The pictures were rather similar to this sword.(Seems all swords are pictured on a sword stand.) I think it is important to spread the news about these type of things so other folks are not "taken" by such scams.

Another one, even more spectacular, with a wootz blade!

No bids.
This is the second time this Kilij is listed on e-bay; it was already "sold" once.

Ariel, the original listing mentioned was withdrawn and canceled by eBay. If this new listing is the item in question, then I like it, but it does have false damascus. IT is also listed from China.
