Hello everyone,
I thought those of you who are interested in Ankus may enjoy these. The one with the ivory grips is 17th to 18th C and the two with the worn silver decoration and hidden spike daggers are 19th C. Regards Miguel |

I like the one with the ivory handle, looks like something that might actually have been used and not just for show. I have one, it looks to be fairly old and not to flashy.

Miguel,
Have a look here. BI mentions the age of the ancus http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...ighlight=Ancus It is quite interesting, as he also mentions the katar, which I took back to about the 10th century. So both are very old - and maybe even older than that. |

Thanks for your comments and enhanced pics. I agree with you for the same reasons, the other two are ornamental and would not stand up to prolonged use. The one you have is a good robust one and made to use. Regards Miguel |
