Zulfikar sold on ebay?

[Sikh_soldier]

Thank you to everyone for your comments, I understand now that other factors such as symbolic, religous etc are also considered when purchasing.

I would like to make clear that I did not mean to offend the buyer,
I recognised and value his experience and expertise, and knew immediately that it must be worth the price or even more.

Its just that I am new to collecting and was trying to understand whether I should try to include such pieces in my collection, I have always liked bespoke pieces like this and indeed purchased a strange one last year although it is no where near the quality of this piece (pics added), I was going to post it on the forum but it was already being discussed everyone was highly critical of it due to its practicality (balance etc) so I saved myself the embarassement and buried my head in the sand

The easy part is to make the scabbard, the hard part would be to get it out of the scabbard.

Jens,
I disagree...the hard part is making all those little crescent cuts in the edge with a file and getting them even.

Yes, I should have thought of that.

Hmmm, now that you mention it Richard, I may have a few pieces that would love to be worked on by a master scabbard maker!
