A handsome and complete piece. Far too high to my mind, even at half that price would be quite high. However I am not sure I live in quite the same world.

Tim,

IMHO you're completely right. I've the same idea about it. The sport of collecting is to get so many possible nice items you really like against the lowest price possible.
When reporting to the Mrs. it is better for your health you can tell her that it was a bargain. How would you manage when you have to tell her that you bought a beautiful sword but the rent for this month is a slight problem. Better not I guess but one way or the other she will find out

In Persia they have a saying, "if you pay too much for something you will own it a long time".

If the pala had a blade with classical style grooves and a little gold koftgari i would consider the price very normal, but in this case surely expensive.
