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. :eek: :)

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 . :shrug:

Bigger isn't always better . ;) :D

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

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.:D

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 ;) :confused:

Me too Jose, thanks . ;) :D

Purely a fantasy piece at that size . :rolleyes:
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. :)

Steve
