Belated X-Mas presents to fellow Forumites

In a great tradition of X-mas spirit here are my presents to some of you. All af them were lovingly selected from the E-bay cornucopia.

This one is to Rivkin. Even though he is besotted with Kinjals, a good Caucasian Shashka will look good on his wall. This one was modified by the ancient Caucasian masters and bends the wrong way to fit Rivkin's closet

This one is to M. Carter in recognition of his skills as a translator from Arabic. This is a VERY, VERY rare Arabian sword and was signed by Assadullah himself. Miraculously, Assadullah wrote: " He who wields this sword at McDonalds, will get free topping on his Domino pizza".
Wasn't the Master great?

This one is for the Dha mafia: Andrew, Ian and Mark.
Please, boys, be very careful with this masterpiece: this is an ancient North Vietnamese Dha that was used by Comrade Ho Chi Mihn himself. It was given to him by Mahatma Gandhi and Comrade Ho especially loved the pacifistic nature of the blade: it could not cut even fresh cow dung!

This one goes to Labantayo. Not because he loves Visayan weapons , but because of his passion for fishing.
May your next fishing trip bring you something similar, preferably with the Lady of the Lake still filling these lovely "culottes"! And, by the way, the red thingie stuck in the fabric looks like a Doublehead Deity Sansibar to me. Enjoy!

Last but not least, the next one is for all of us with even minimal ambitions to write a definitive book on weapons.
