Well noted Bob, and I agree entirely. The reason for the prohibition of posting of items in live auction etc. is due to obvious potential for litigation resulting from publicly posted comments which might impair auction results.
Once the auction is complete of course, that potential is virtually ended, but of course common sense must prevail in open comments concerning weapon sales issued publicly. I am no lawyer, but this is how I see these situations.
As noted, this is a most important sword historically, and the monetary matter is for me, inconsequential. The history of the sword itself is fascinating regardless, and would make for great discussion as to the nature and characteristics of the shashka itself. Interesting it is ex -Mollo collection!
