ceylanese small ( presentation ?)sword

BBking · 21st November 2022, 10:32 PM

I always found these swords described as rare (why ?) early 20th century models and set with semi-precious stones,

sometimes the word rubies is written in the description but it's exactly the same violet color ...

Sure larger kastane swords from the 19th are real weapons and I like them,

so was I surprised when I saw that these later 20th ''presentation'' models
with same semi-precious stones, not diamonds

were sold twice ( or more ) the price of large good 19th silver mounted kastane swords

This one per example described to be set with garnets,
usually red stones...

sold for a really high price after a ''fair correct'' estimation.

really look like,
ok , there are more violet stones and gilted silver parts...
