Oh no you do not want this, its all wrong. It's got a horrible wood thingy, I believe they are called "Scabbards" ?

Jose, this is a fabulous acquistion. I showed the pictures to a couple of the older Muslim soldiers I work with here and they both agreed only a Sultan would carry a blade like that (or maybe a Datu that wanted to be).

Does it make you feel humbled in Its presence - I know I would be.

It's a nice one. I also have been eyeballin this in Bill's website for quite a while.

Boars hair???, isn't that sacrilegious??

Yeah, I looked at it also when we were in San Francisco. Nice piece. Was trying to make up my mind. Since I missed it, very glad that you were the one to get it.

Many thanks folks -

Sultan's piece - I wondered. Thank you Wilked for sharing this with your friends....

Kino - I have seen boar's hair on many PI pieces, though you may still have a point (like the one on my head

) - this may require more research and inquiry....

Bill - thank you - this was one that I thought I would never be able to afford, until I sold some of my collection off...

This was the better choice..
