This just ended on Ebay.

30 1/4" overall length. It doesn't look very old, but the quality looks fair to good. What do you folks think? Sold for a pretty penny, $510.
Some times I wish I'd never posted pictures of mine.

They used to be much less expensive.

Hi Steve,
I had one of these years ago; IMO they're mostly items made for 'those who travel for pleasure' .

I re-sold mine shortly after I received it and figured out that it's not really a combat piece of any sort .

Bigger isn't always better .

Wish I got $500+ for mine; must've been fewer idiots around then .

Now that my internet is back up, I'm glad I missed that one.

Steve you missed nothing - your collection is of quality - why pollute it with this - it is recent. Yours are mostly antique.

Be happy - you have a good eye for quality stuff.

Rick, glad you were able to get rid of yours.

Let me say that the okir work is okay though on the mounts.

Don't sweat it Steve the gunong is nice but certainly not worth the final price

Me too Jose, thanks .

Purely a fantasy piece at that size .

The okir on mine was pretty good also .

IMO these 'swords' never went to war .

Thank you gentlemen. As I guessed, recent. I would be interested in it only as a curiosity, if it sold really cheap.
