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 Gav |

More sold, thank you.
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 Gav |

Hi Pakana
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.
