don't worry, i'm sure there will be another more expensive one available for you.
check the vendors other items....

nice indian birdseye pattern welded steel (wonder if it's been nicely hardened/tempered), it's in such good condition, it could almost have been made last fortnight. maybe that's what they meant by 17th-18th : they must have meant 17th or 18th of january as they carefully did not say 17th-18th "century" anywhere.
