recent ebay
Saw this on ebay, looked pretty good to me, what do you all think?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/160866662216...84.m1439.l2649 Seems interest in Moro is waning? |
hmmm....sorry i missed that or i might have bid. Looks like it needs a little TLC, but definitely a solid piece.
Not sure interest is waning (though i wouldn't mind that... ;) ), but sometimes a few slip under the radar. :shrug: |
It is Maguindanao in origin (though the blade may also possibly be Maranao).
I agree with David in that a little TLC might be helpful. Also interest maybe waning in the mid-range and low range pieces. High end pieces are still going strong (and getting much much harder to find). |
Not to mention the listing title was not quite 'to the point' and could have been overlooked by a casual search .
Looks like someone got a '90's price on a good workmanlike war sword . Cool . :) |
Looks like a bargain! Did you win it MrRoss?
I bet all that 'fossilised' grease/cosmoline/varnish or whatever it is on the blade will come right off and it's going to be a beauty underneath. |
I too have noticed the price of moro swords, including armor, slide a bit. Notable exception are the high-end pieces.
|
Wow....someone got a bargain!

The main reason I posted this is it did last so long on a buy it now, that coupled with very few moro discussions on this forum led me to believe interest might be slowing. There was a time when almost every week someone posted a really nice piece for discussion. Battera, I have noticed there are very few real high end pieces anywhere. Hopefully we are just in a down cycle. |

I also saw the Buy it Now when it first went up and considered it.
But I am concentrating on Maranao pieces so decided to pass and see just how long it would last at that price :o certainly a good bargain. |

Hello Mross, I would also like to add my congratulations to the ever growing list. I thought that I would also add the auction pictures for later reference. I'm glad that I didn't see this before you did as I am trying to save some money for something else that I have located and this would have definitely set me back.:D Again, congratulations on a great score.
Regards, Robert |
