Default 18C ivory hilt

finished on auction
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...#ht_500wt_1182
WOW, didn't even get my final bid out
Rick should be a happy man with the one he has, though this one looks like a real oldie.

Indeed, WOW, don't think that it go high like this. I also bid on this, but the price is far away from what I can give. But I think it's a very nice kris.

Boy !

Judging from the crappy pictures this example approaches relic status .

I don't get the high price .

Is it just my impression, or are the Moro weapons starting to command exceedingly high prices?
This one seems to beat all records, though....

No, I agree... I think Moro swords are getting more and more hype, like but nowhere close to nihonto.

I certainly have noticed the trend in very high prices in every auction I have attended.

Probably 2 people that wanted it really bad.

You don't bid such amounts just for fun I guess.
Not a realistic price for a relic item IMHO
