Nice Kaskara on eBay

Lew · 12th January 2012, 03:02 AM

Just won this nice older Kaskara. The blade seems to be of nice quality.

Pretty cool, Lew. I saw the listing whiel it was active but kaskaras are not quite my thing. I think the seller had another one listed as well. Did you try bidding on it too?

Lets see some pictures when you get it!

The other Kaskara seemed to have had a European trade blade on it but the hilt seemed more recent with a black leather overlay.

I will be interested to see if the blade bears this mark, Lew .

Leather Therapy for the scabbard ...

Rick, the guy had four for sale, one of which looked to have a mark similar to the one you are interested in.

Like Iain I would have loved to pick up some of these, but Danish customs are really no fun, so my route to Europe would be even more circuitous than Iain's

So less competition for you stateside folks

Here are some pics of the one I won. Below that is the other kaskara with similar markings to Ricks piece.

A very good deal. Guard also looks old. I refrained from bidding because I would have had to ship to relatives state side then over to Europe. Also assumed it would go higher, a lot higher... glad it went to a forumite and congrats again.
