Unhappy Bargain Mandau at e-pray

Hmmm...
Should have stayed up, or put a snipe on it.
This one went cheap.

What does it mean to see silver inlay in these blades?

It was a nice one! Unusual for anything to be missed on ebay, was it the lack of scabbard that held it back?

No I guess this item went by unnoticed by the people who would appreciate such beautifull sword.. :-(
If I had it I would remove that hair though....

PS I've a similar one, still one of my favorites!

I was the first one who give a bid to this mandau and have had in mind to went higher at the last moment. It was the working stress that I forget it and now I am more disappointed when I see how cheap it was sold!!!

Hi Maurice,

why you would do so? Do you think that the hair isn't original to the handle?
