Trousse knife for sale/trade

A.alnakkas · 8th December 2010, 03:18 PM

hello all,

i offer this Chinese/tibetan? trousse knife for sale or trade. it looks to be atleast late 19th century or early 20th century, am not sure so an expert help would be appreciated. the hilt is wood, its cracked on one side and missing some wood (minimum loss but can send picture) there is a plate on the pommel with missing parts. the blade is unbent but the edge is damaged slightly. the scabbard is made of leather with metal fitting (i think its iron) the fitting is slightly loose but nothing some glue cant fix.

i would like to sell it for $250 but i accept offers. and for trading, am mainly interested in the following:

1- Middle eastern arms ( Arabic, Turkish, Persian)
2-Kukri's! (full set with small knives and scabbard is prefered)

Please contact me if you want more info about the item.

(here are the pictures)
