Yemeni influenced African tribal knife.

Images below, $50USD or best offer. Can't really comment much on this one, African in origins I would say but by design, Yemeni influenced.

Thanks

Canary Island knife, an outstanding and rare example not often found of this quality, razor sharp, beautifully crafted, the bead work on the brass and the horn spacers with brass inlay on the hilt is second to none $100USD or best offer.
Albacete Dagger, quite a nice example of a knife that doesn't turn up very often any more, once considered a plug bayonet by collectors of old but Mr Evans ran that rumour to ground with his publication on plug bayonets.
$65 USD or best offer.

thanks

The Kachin Dao, this item has generated a lot of interest so here are some more images and my price is $225 or nearest offer. As found and untouched, clean top side slight surface rust on scabbard side, clearly a forged blade, laminations not present in it's current state, a good clean and etch may reveal some of the forging marks. Some geometric patterns present on both side of the scabbard and beautiful fine rattan weaving present to the sling and scabbard bindings. Overall a nice and seldom seen piece.

Thanks for your interest and best of luck.

The Jambiyas, very fine old Jambiyas from Oman. Great patina on the silver, horn hilts, the rings and buckles all appear to be hand forged, just lovely overall, I certainly didn't want to part with them but she who must be obeyed has to be obeyed and I do not wih to part with my Chinese pieces so something has gotta give, my loss you gain they say in the classics. Maybe I have won lotto and haven't been told, then I wont have to part with them...
Despite my initial thoughts on pricing and what they do sell for on some websites I will only ask $275USD or best offer for each for these.

Images below.

thanks again for the interest I have received via email thus far.

A WWII japanese bayonet found without hilt fittings, armourers marks clearly present, now nearly a complete custom knife, just awaiting your finishing touches, all the hard wrok has been done, scabbard covered in roo skin, ebony slabs cut to fill every part of the hilt, just a polish and fitment of these pieces and you'll have a unique custom creation, offer a price...

Secondly a suspension chain from a French cavalry or Artillery sword, I would imagine a very hard to find piece to complete a sword or uniform.
$65USD or best offer.
