2 X Firanghi
Half a dozen small swords
French 1822 Cavalry officer's parade sword
Albacete dagger
Very nice and rare Canary Island knife
Unusual African, Yeman style dagger
Modern Puuko
Modern Turkish knife, bone ahndle ans signed blade and scabbard.
A mid 1800's Kris.
A maratime Nimcha

Thanks to all who have made purchaces in the last few months, I look forward to hearing from you all again.

Gav

PS all reasonable, I mean reasonable offers will be considered as I am just not that attached to these items anymore.

PPS Although it is not a weapon, I have a couple of nice Ivory tusk cigar cutters to go too, ceretainly would hurt if you got stabbed by them...

Default Thanks David, one got the jump on you

Thanks David, as Maxwell smart used to say, missed it by that much, I just need to provide an images that it does fit into the sheath perfectly as I didn't have it secured in the original image and then get a postage quote.

If it falls over I'll let you know.


It also appears the Canary Isand and Albacete knife are on hold and interests in the Firanghis and the small swords at this point, sales just not finalised

thanks

Default Nimcha

Ward, you have mail about the Nimcha and the length is 31&1/2 inches overall.

Please advise when you can where your offer would stand with the prices I indicated $500-700 and I'll see what I can do for you, as indicated I am open to offers.

regards

Gavin

Images of the French blade as requested. I did not want to try to move the leather washer to clearly reveal the armour and inspection stamps but you can see the detail of them.

Thanks

French Cavalry sword and Nimcha sold thank you.

I'll put up the Syrian Kindjal and the orange bone handled Kindjal with the early Caucus blade shortly. I am open to offers on the knives above and She who must be obeyed wants to keep the Italian small sword with the mother of pearl handles but I will still entertain a reasonable offer, it is minty.

Thanks

G'day George, the one on the left is Caucus and the one on the right is Syria, though I do wonder if it started it's life in the Caucus.
