 It is clear that it is a real VOC sword and nobody asked about the price. The blade has VOC markings (in fact the Chambre of Amsterdam) The VOC was divided in separate department (kamer) and well known ones are Amsterdam / Rotterdam and Hoorn. The hilt seems european to me. maybe it has been used as a hunting sword/side arm ? |

The Dutch, Danes, British, French and others all supplied blades exstensively throughout the West African trade coast. To aid thier interests using African conflict and internal politics. I can post more Leopard pics if you need them.

It seems that you can't act on this forum without getting too personal. My pencil is sharper than my swords my reading is better than ever course I'm also able to read " between the lines". If we win on ebay we pay and also Willem has too.That why our feedback is that good.Willem is a besides a good friend of mine also a collector and also a paying customer.Maybe you should learn at least some of that behaviour. I really was interested in this forum but as long as you are on it I don"t take it for serious.Forumleader will have a PM. Arjan |

Ben, Your last remark seems totally unnecessary and off topic. Let's stick to the sword at hand. What you think about other auctions is unimportant to this thread and personal attacks are against forum policy.
