here you go the silver is very tarnished but it is all there the rosettes are silver also the ratan is original and typical of this type. It is roughly 60 caliber and is made of twist damascus. This one is on the very early edge of the age scale the painted version is in the 1840-1870 range.

No it is a good honest piece. I do not meet many people that appreciate a well made piece. Remember that 1st piece I bought many years ago. I paid 250 dollars which was 2 weeks wages back then. I wish I could buy pieces for that now

Given the prices asked in Portugal for old arms, i don't think the cost of this piece was so bad ... 300 Euros.
When you feel like, please send me by email a couple close up pictures of the barrel bands; i would like to see how they made the knots. I know yours are rattan and mine are in leather, bu still i would like to see them. If you wish to do so, of course. Fernando |
