had 45 sec to go, put in a bid & got it for less than a fiver, it seems similar to a MOP & jade pesh that i got a few years ago,

but new one is 24 cm. long with a 16 cm. blade, a bit smaller, looks like a nice fullered blade, tho handle must be a bit small. wonder if it's a child's or woman's?

Well you didn't get robbed, that's for sure!!

What a nice, elegant shape, and lovely looking well finished blade.
It could come and live with me anytime!
Congratulations, Kronckew.

These pesh were often sold to British troops and tourists back in the 19th century as a souvenir of their journey to India. They are very well made and a great addition to any collection. :)

They come in very different sizes, nice buy.

i think i have a weakness for these, i have the ones above and just picked up this one one ebay which looks like a proper working model, wood or horn grip with pommel ring, 8 3/4 in. blade and with it's original scabbard in good condition ( the one for my MOP one above was in field 'repaired' state)

Is this the case of all bladed weapons seen with this kind of jade & MoP grip (thinking of the pesh here, not the newly bought one)? It's a rather distinctive style, and I've seen it quite often, so it'd be nice to know what conclusions could be drawn from it.
