Hello Jose,
That is really sad. Of course, I'll also keep my eyes open for your pieces. Maybe you also want to post pics of the blades for those only shown sheathed? I'd also suggest that you contact any weapon/ethnographic dealers out there since not all will regularly frequent this forum. Keep the hopes up! I seem to remember at least one case where stolen antique blades got recovered. Regards, Kai |

I'm very sorry to hear about this and will certainly keep my eyes open. As others have said there are not a huge number of outlets for this sort of material so hopefully there is a good chance for recovery.

Yes, sorry to hear this, worst nightmare is right. No insurance pay out can cover this sort of loss. Perhaps a reminder to us all to keep good photographic records as these will surely help any recovery.
Hope yours are recovered soon. CC |

Hi José,
Enourmous sad news.... but I have strongly the hope that sooner or later these items will dive up as the group of collectors even worldwide is quite small and the items are quite recognizable. of course we as dealers can look out for them, it is for me even possible to pay attention to it in my newsletter if you want. Keep hope, Arjan |

Very heartbreaking I hope that they turn up somewhere and get returned to you.
