Hi Steve,
"I'll take a dozen. Wait a minute, on second thoughts make that two dozen".

Nice going.
My Regards,
Norman.

wow, really nice snag, bro!

looks like it's well decorated and any etching should be restricted to a small test area well away from the decorations.

No way! You've got to be kidding me! Fantastc buy, Steve! Have'nt had a bargain buy like that in over a decade. Very nice piece! Too bad there wasn't another for my pirate collection (Barbary corsairs and what not-

)

It was a steal bud.

Congrats

Thanks all. Finally got around to taking some pictures. The blade is monosteel, and a lot of the koftgari has worn off, but I'm still exceedingly lucky to have it.

If you flip the blade, there is a date : 1256=1840. Or, is it my fantasy?
